Last week I attended the first class of a four part colored pencil workshop at the Worcester Art Museum. We sketched in the museum (European galleries) after hours, which I’ve never done before. Then we went back to the studio and sketched some simple still lifes. I will have a review of the whole class after I finish.
 After Una Calle de Toledo by Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida. Exercise: Taking a line for a walk (i.e., a contour drawing without removing the pencil from the paper). |
 After Portrait of Mr. Morley by George Romney. Exercise: Gesture sketching. We weren’t supposed to show the edges of shapes and I didn’t follow the directions here. |
 After Lake Avernus by Richard Wilson. Exercise: Gesture sketching. I followed the directions better with this sketch. |
 Details of various paintings. Exercise: We were to zoom into a small detail of a painting and block off all the light and dark areas. We were supposed to reduce the picture to two tones only. I was partway finished when we stopped. |
 In the studio we did still lifes from various pieces of fake fruits and veggies. I ran out of time and didn’t finish. |
