Colored Pencil Week Seven

There has been no class for two weeks, so there was no Blog post a week ago. The Homework wall was filled with studies of Dr. Hu, but the instructor forgot to photograph them. Next week. Promise.

We continued to look at techniques using colored pencils, as well as graphite. More we played with vellum. The homework for the week is to continue working on colored pencil drawings and to see what invention the vellum can be used for.

We looked specifically at a self portrait of John Marin that was done on a transparent piece of paper, as well as one on tracing paper (vellum and parchment).
