[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 263527, member: 84"] Nichole and I finished our first artwork for Drawing class today. They were still life's done in charcoal. Subjects were paperbags arranged in different ways and with different spotlights. Nichole and I were in different groups. Hers chose a simple arrangement for their bags. My group wasn't quite as bright. We have "artsy boy" in my group and he got a bit elaborate with ours. The main paperbag (grocery style) he tore open to make flaps and so the gift bag inside it could be seen......the flower is actually a cool gift bag made to look like a flower. It's sitting in the smaller gift bag. Artsy boy forgot we were beginning drawing. lol :raspberry-tounge: Charcoal is not something I've worked with before. But by the time we get done working with it......I might just like it. At least I've stopped hating it. lol I prefer pastels which don't tend to "dissolve" every time you go to blend. ugh So........here they are. I think they turned out pretty well for all our cursing and sweating. Mine: [URL]http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd204/Lisaisqueen/Artwork/StillLife2009.jpg[/URL] Nichole's: [URL]http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd204/Lisaisqueen/Artwork/NicholeStillLife2009.jpg[/URL] By Thursday we have to come up with our own still life arrangement. And so far.......I haven't got a clue. lol But I'd prefer something a bit less complicated this time around. So far all my compositions are turning out to be [B]hard[/B] subjects. The instructor saw some of my sketches.....and yeah.....I happened to be playing with one of an otter.....and now suddenly it's going to be my first painting. :surprised1: Nichole is doing an awesome ladybug for Aubrey. Leave it to me to start with the hard stuff. lol:whiteflag: Any ideas for a simple uncomplicated still life?? [/QUOTE]
