#5 Negative Shape Drawings

In drawings there are three basic elements of composition:  the frame (the edge of the pictorial space)  the positive the negative space The positive space is easiest to understand because we see it. Generally, it is the space occupied by your subject.  Conversely, negative space is the space that is not your subject and people often simply forget about.  Simply put,  Negative space  is the  space  that surrounds an object within an image.  It is just as important as that object itself -- air is important for most every living organisims isn't it? N egative space  helps to define the boundaries of  positive space  and brings balance to a composition. The negative space is defined by the edges of the positive space and the frame or border (the third element).  Thus, part of our negative space is bound by the frame and another part is bounded by the positive sp...

Visual Lecture # Cezanne, Scheile, Dumas -> H20 Media

Paul Cezanne French  1839 - 1906 Paul Cézanne was a French artist and  Post-Impressionist painter  whose work was the foundation for transitioning from a 19th-century conception of artistic endeavor to a new and radically different way of looking at subject matter towards the 20th century.  His work eventually leads the way towards the beginning of breaking up space into smaller parts and cubes.    Egon Scheile Austrian 1980 - 1918 Schiele was a protégé of Gustav Klimt.  Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century.

#3 Sighting Strategies & Establishing Pictorial Space

The Materials VINE CHARCOAL Vine charcoal is a piece of charred willow. It comes in different softness/hardness varieties. Soft vine charcoal will produce dark gray value, Medium will be lighter, Hard produces the lightest value range. It moves very easily on paper. Its easy to manipulate, almost like clay. It's easy to blend with and remove with a kneaded or plastic eraser. COMPRESSED CHARCOAL Compressed charcoal is much darker.  There is a bit of oil in it, and thus the values you can produce will get much darker than vine.  The blackness you can produce is very rick and dark. Compressed charcoal also comes in pencil form. Compressed charcoal works best for fine details and for when you want to produce a rich shadow. Sighting & Measurement in Still Life Drawings Make use of a pencil, chop stick or other straight hand held tool that you can use to lay against the still life forms you see. This will help yo...
