Final drawing project

Here’s my final project from drawing class. This is done in pastels. My first serious attempt at using color. I’m pretty happy with it. I learned a lot from it, and there are a lot of mistakes, but I think I could do a lot better now.

sculpture installation

sculpture by Nan MartinThese first few meetings of my drawing class have concentrated on gesture drawings. Last night we went down to the gallery, where this exhibit is currently running. The sculpture installations were amazing — like 3-D versions of the gesture drawings we’ve been doing.

So we spent about 45 minutes in the gallery, doing gesture drawings of the hanging sculptures. Afterward I took a few pictures. Really nice stuff. When I get my sketch book back I’ll post a drawing or two from that session.

The paintings in this exhibit were also very interesting. If you are in the area you should check this exhibit out. Here’s the gallery info — it is at the Spring Creek Campus of CCCCD.

yet another cat drawing.

Yet another drawing of our cat. I am working on my gesture drawing. After a lifetime to trying to do very detailed drawings, it is challenging and difficult to loosen up.  This is about a 90 second drawing.
