Still life with glass

We had a social day at ATASDA today in Epping with a theme of sketching still life so it seemed a good opportunity to follow a little of Sian's suggestions in her drawing challenge for November.

I took along a collection of glasses purposefully to challenge myself a bit as I usually avoid glass and its reflections.


I coloured the A5 pages with diluted Brusho paints that the group had available, and some of my own inks, so that I could use white Inktense pencils and white gel pen to draw in some of the light reflections on the glass.



From one of the sketches with 3 glasses I had a go at drawing the same arrangement in one continuous line. 


I can really see how some stencils or stamps of this shape (or sections of it) could give interesting designs.  More to follow hopefully....

they look great Helen. I'm going to try use my white chinagraph pencil on some of mine (I did the china objects rather than the glass ones.)
