Week of 1/18

Hi All,
This week your homework is to finish making a careful pencil copy of your Abts/Nozkowski painting.  Every square inch of the drawing should be considered.  Be sure not to merely sketch in the composition.  This should take at least a couple hours.

Use both hard and soft pencils to build up the layers to get a beautifully rich and painterly surface. Don't mash down the tooth of the paper. Instead use a hard pencil in all different directions to fill in the white spaces that the valleys of the tooth of the paper make.

In the end, your drawing should look EXACTLY like a black and white photo of the painting.
