Spent the afternoon at Wet Paint graphite drawing/painting pears in Monica Fogg's class. I wrecked one or two. Monica said I made interesting marks. She made me stop at the minimalist version and just add a couple of lines of black.
This was my first attempt at a graphite 8B pencil pear. Monica said to work on getting more lights and darks in here. Leave some white space/highlights. Darker darks.
This pear turned into a butternut squash. It's the graphite disk and the graphite crayon. Too dark.
Final pears. Foreground pear and pear that looks like a cheap Italian wine jug. Monica also suggested to work on my minimalism lines and then just a few brush strokes using the wide brush. I should work more on getting to learn the brush, graphite, and water qualities on how they work together.
