Figure drawing

25 April 2009 in David's work, drawing by David | 2 comments

I’ve found a local atelier that does figure drawing in two and a half hour poses. When I moved to this area, I attended a few sessions at another group that does the more typical 5, 10, and 15 minute gesture poses. Those just drive me crazy. Even one session seems like only enough time to get started.

On the reading list

17 February 2008 in art books, art history, drawing by David | No comments

Drawing in Early Renaissance Italy: Revised Edition by Francis Ames-Lewis. It’s a good summary of drawing in the period. Lots of illustrations, a good summary of period drawing materials and methods, and an extensive discussion of how the practice of drawing evolved in Italy in the period leading up to the High Renaissance.

Sanguine

Sanguine is a hematite chalk used in Renaissance drawing. Michaelangelo’s preparatory drawings in sanguine are stunning.

Over at Lines and Colors, there’s a post on sanguine drawing. There’s also a link to this brief tutorial.
