Day 5 before midnight! Woot!
I did this reduction piece in graphite powder. So I sprinkled the powder over the page and smeared it with a cheese cloth/my fingers. Then I proceeded to erase all the light areas and blended/added graphite for the darkest areas (I learned this technique from a wonderful drawing instructor I once had, Frank Haddock).
This is a very serious statue in my house. . . the light was hitting his intense glare quite nicely this afternoon :) I really like doing reductions - they just make a lot of sense to me in terms of light. It also gets you to look at negative spaces and different shapes in the object.
Well I've done my 5 creative things this week! I will continue my next 5 on Sunday. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and thanks for checking out my blog!

ReplyDeleteI agree with Anna, I am very impressed that you have the energy and ability to produce such diverse creations every day. You have certainly captured a serious and intense look in this piece and an interesting method, like working in reverse.
