5/8 TEXTURE: Continuous Field

Stephany Valencia

Students continued with texture drawings. We discussed the concept of a continuous field composition. A continuous field composition has no horizon line; the image extends outside the format on all four sides. Although the drawing above is not a continuous field it is an intriguing and surreal rendering of a magnolia seed pod. The combination of tone and cross-contour lines addresses the texture while adding volume and depth as well.
