Colour, Colour, Colour

In the last november,  we went to the National Gallery instead of the life drawing class. 
We had a very interesting lecture about the colours about those paintings.

 

Drawing where the big parts of painting without looking the paper and taking off the pencil from the paper! It was hard and can't be recognised well but very new approach.  

(Belshazzar's Feast, Rembrandt, about 1636-8)

This colouring is showing the colour spectrum in the each paintings. 

(Ulysses deriding Polyphmus-Homer's odyssey, Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1829(up)

The fighting Temeraire, Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1839(down))

 

This shows how the background and key colour affect to the atmosphere of work. The upper one looks very warm and they have some kind of bounding or caring. On the contrary, my drawing looks they don't really have acquaintance or the woman in the blue is really hurting the pregnant woman's hair.

(Combing the Hair (La Coiffure), Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas, about 1896)

Swan Lake - Drawing

As I didn't have any life drawing class, I had my own life drawing time. 

When I went to see Matthew Borne's Swan Lake in  the last december, I bought the ballet DVD. I thought the ballerino's movement is good source of drawing. I was challenging actually. They don't keep pose for me and I didn't press pose button at once! So I had to keep eyes on the screen and had no time to see the sketch board. This work has affected on my 3D walk cycle as well. It was hard to make i, though.
