Ink Wash Gesture Painting

Objectives:
  1. Become familiar with painting with the bamboo brush and ink washes.  What different types of marks and strokes can you make with the brush to add texture, depth and dynamism to your picture?  How is this process different than working with charcoal?
  2. Continue to draw the figure from observation paying attention to:
Proportion - sight measuring.
Shading -  try to use as wide a variety of shades of gray and black as possible, in order to add depth and drama to your picture.
Figure’s placement in the picture space - how close to the edges of the frame is it?
Background - how can you differentiate it from foreground through value?  Foreground should probably have more intense darks and/or lights.
Gesture - continue to use gestural strokes to capture the essence of model’s pose.
3. Clean up - more involved than charcoal.  We will leave at least 10 minutes at the end of class to clean brushes and palettes.
