INDIA INK: Still Life

Daniel Orjuela Beltran

Techi Brant

Last night the class continued drawing with India ink. The objective was to address either the light or volume or a combination of the two of a complex still life arrangement. With his parallel hatched lines following the cross-contours of the forms, Daniel has equally addressed the light and the volume. The values are rich and the image is well balanced with its asymmetrical placement.
Techi's drawing is also very rich yet she has giving each object an individual character by applying a different mark-making technique. The values are strong and bold. The image has depth and the negative areas have been emphasized enhancing the juxtaposition of the varying edges.
