Activity three consisted of three different paintings, using three different shades of the same colour and three different tools that I have around the house.
Photo one shows the different colour strengths, using the three different tools of the skewer to the left, wire brush handle in the centre and paper towel to the right.
What can be seen is not only the difference in the hues, there is also a difference in the texture from each tool used.
Picture two is of a leaf that I procured from my back yard. The first three leaves were traced and painted with each of the tools, using the different hues and highlighted.
The next three leaves are of the leaf itself, dipped in the three coloured hues and showing the different texture and colour.
The last image is a combination from the previous two images, outlining what was used and how.
Activity four saw me doing a charcoal drawing of an object in observation. I took a photograph of a tree in my front yard and attempted to draw it in charcoal.
I'm not an observational drawer by nature and I didn't expect my image to be the same. It was more about what can be achieved from using crushed charcoal in the background, drawing with sticks and compressed charcoal in the foreground, and using an eraser over the whole
drawing to capture its weight and volume.
The final activity and image consisted of Frottage, to colour in on a piece of paper over a rough surface. I drew an outline of a ball which hangs outside in my back yard and let the colouring in begin, with a corrugated placemat, straight down and crossways, using different shades of black pencil. As can be seen, the colours ran deeper inside the ridges while the colour is lighter along the wooden surface.
Three activities completed, with more to do tomorrow!
