tuesday afternoon workshop

we all had to print off an photo from wherever. i photocopied a picture of some bears from a book on animals.

we then did a few 15 minute drawings.

 this was the first image, we had to reproduce the image using pencil. i did it with a 6b graphite pencil.

the next one was to use a water-soluble material, i used water colours.

i obviously wasn't listening as we were meant to do it with just one colour, so as to concentrate more on the mark-making.

i am hardly a dab-hand at using a paintbrush so that would have not turned out so well i feel.

i even forgot to do the fish that they're catching.

the next was to do a two colour linear drawing.

it went alright.

next was three colour again no black.

we could use shading or line.

sooorrrrt of pleased with this one.

the next one was to just depict the shadows

i did it in yellow felt tip pen and graphite pencil

i think that the top bear looks more recognisable really.

the final one was to change the position of something.

so for example if i was feeling braver i would have swapped the fish for the bear.

but i wimped out and just swapper the bears over.

i found it quite hard to visualise what's on the page and alter it at the same time.
