exercise in cast bust drawing

 

Cast Bust exercise by Sandra Galda
18"x24" approx. charcoal on Canson paper

Above is the end product of an exercise in cast bust drawing. On the top is the drawing before I took it home to spray. Below is the drawing under better lighting and after some adjustments after a little too much wind on the thing on the way home! Charcoal is a messy medium to work with. I will start another cast bust soon. The exercise of getting an image relationally accurate in your drawing helps you to SEE better. Below is the set up at the studio, so you can see how I must work from a distance, then walk up to the paper and draw what I see, then repeat the process...over and over again.

Here is a glimpse into what I have been up to, the painting is of my son's rotary style phone. I hope the cord works out...I only have part of it in so far, only about 4 hours into the work. The drawing is my current project at the Ingbretson Studios.

I put another hour into this one and I think I am ready to move on to the next painting. It is enjoyable to take these daily painting exercises to a more refined level now and then.
