Basic Drawing-Ink Wash Final


Today's Class- Today the class did the final ink wash drawing of the semester, a graded project. The subject was a potted plant with long vines and leaves, hanging within a wooden tripod, in full light. Students were asked to do an ink wash drawing at 100% scale, matching shapes and values of everything within the view. Student examples from previous semesters are shown above and below.

How to make this up- Put a medium-large (about a foot in diameter) potted leafy plant on a wooden chair in a well lit room. Draw it at 100% scale (if a leaf is 2 inches on the plant, it should be 2 inches on the paper), with the flower pot centered in the drawing. You may sketch it with pencil first before using the ink wash. Match values as closely as possible, both local color values and light and shadow if any exist. As with all value drawings, the resulting drawing should eliminate lines in favor of value shapes. Spend up to 3 hours working on the drawing.
