I am An Artist!!!

So you may recall that in my first term i took part n some still life drawing classes,


Well this term i have had a few more and i thought i would show you the results!!!


this time we were using mixed mediums from acrylic and poster paint to charcoal and graphite - we were limited to black white and brown so the colour represents more the shades.


this one was a little harder doing the folds and making them actually look organic was a chore i never quite got there!
i made up the whole picture by taping a couple of a3 sheet together and working on the dress in sections (which is why the proportions are out a little!


i would still completely recommend taking some drawing lessons even just for fun you learn so much and manage to surprise yourself - ok so i am never going to be a great but i am pleased with what i produced!!!
