As a continuation of the work done in class, using your pen nib and ink, you will be creating a composition on bristol board with the following subject: a view looking through a window into an exterior landscape. You must draw any curtains, moldings, or wall information that surrounds the window, and then you will draw the information seen through the window-- trees, houses, wires... whatever it is that you are seeing.
1. Produce compositional thumbnails on newsprint, employing quick gesture with graphite.
2. Choose the best composition and then very lightly draw it onto a sheet of bristol board (remember to consider a vertical or horizontal orientation).
3. Using only your pen nib and ink, carefully render the composition.
Keep it clean, without smudging.
Consider the line quality as it helps to describe the scene, controlling your pen to transition between thin lines and thicker lines to help describe form.
BEGINNING DRAWING: DUE at the beginning of class on MONDAY, October 17.
