Drawing course (Part 2)

Drawing in Colour.
I've now enrolled in this second part of the course. So I'm busy updating my profile on the OCA website and reading through the instructions for the course. I use a program called Evernote to keep notes on my computers and as these can be published online much like a blog I'm trying this as a way of keeping my learning journal. There's not much there yet but you're welcome to look.

Finish of the Drawing course (Part 1).

Its now spring 2009 and I started this course in autumn 2007. I had intended to complete earlier but other commitments precluded this. I feel I have learned much about the use of different mediums and their associated tools. I'm pleased with some of the work I have produced (particularly the outdoor study) but less satisfied with my figure studies which is an area I shall address further in the coming weeks.

I intend to enrol on the second module of this course (Drawing in Colour) shortly.

The final part of this project was to draw a seated figure using whichever mediums I wished. I used pencil, charcoal and pen & ink.
