Drawings
i'm at a place i never thought i'd be when it comes to drawing. Not that i thought still life drawing was the be-all/end-all, but this IS a departure for me. Here are the latest drawings, my first venture into figure drawing. My instructor Tracy Spadafora continues to help me push the artistic "envelope".
These drawings are shown in chronological order. I have others i'll add at a later point but i'll be sure to place them in the correct timeframe for you.

Marco #5, Spring 2000 Now, i can't claim total responsibility for Marco #5--he was a group effort. Let me explain. The six of us art students had 3 minutes to start a piece. It didn't matter what media we worked in. At the end of 3 minutes, we put down our tools and moved to the next easel, picked up the chalk or charcoal, or paint and worked to improve the piece, and so on until we had visited each person's station. What you see in Marco #5 is my original drawing worked on by 5 other artists. It ended up being the best work and the most fun of any exercise we'd had. |

Marco #6, Spring 2000 Here, you can see i took what i learned was my strongest skill, composition, and employed those skills exhibited by the other artists: a true strong line, exquisite shading, tension, background effects, and mood. |
