Painting Sketchbook #4
Due: Oct 28
1.A building. Draw from direct observation using light pencil lines. This drawing must fill the entire page. Divide the drawing in half using a light pencil line. On the first half, fill in the dark areas with one color marker (i.e. blue) and the light areas with its complement (i.e. orange). On the second half, do the inverse, using the same colors. Fill up the entire page.
2.Use a pencil to draw an architectural element from direct observation. Then use a colored pencil to add value to your drawing. Use the complementary color to add to the darker areas. Fill up the entire page
3 - 5. Find or take 3 really interesting photos of “architecture” (that you have taken!) that you would want to use as a photographic reference for a painting. Print the 3 photos and glue them into your sketchbook on 3 separate pages with a brief written explanation of when and where you took the photo, why you would want to paint it and why it makes a good composition.
