Expressive Drawing 2.3 – Leaves
Expressive Drawing 2.3 "Leaves" - Graphite, colored pencil and gesso on paper - $300
There was a variation for this one. We were supposed to start writing and doodling and let the words dictate the lines and drawings, and so on. I started writing and it didn’t suggest ANYTHING. Nothing at all.
I decided to change tactics and started just drawing my long looping landscape lines. I continued that and filled in areas and ended up again – with nothing. I sat down on the floor of the studio and couldn’t figure out what to do.
Then I looked at the negative space between the areas I had filled in. I thought, “Hey, this space looks like a leaf. Oh. This one too. I can fill in two here…” And so on.
So I filled in the spaces with leaves. I really liked how it all turned out.
