Weekend Spent Drawing II (Crayon)
This June I attended a weekend long
workshop with the goal of enabling my brain to be able to draw with a pencil
. From my point of view, it was great a success.
I got from „drawing simple diagrams“ to „drawing a portrait“. I really
liked it, so when my mother had invited me to join her on course focused on
drawing with crayons, I immediately accepted.
The course took place in Frýdek-Místek (in Místek to be exact). Saturday was focused on drawing with standard crayons and to teach us the theory and practice of mixing and blending colours. Drawing with crayons is all about colours, it more relaxed in actual shapes and shading than drawing with pencil had been.
My version of tulips (acrylic crayon)
On Sunday we got another set of crayons – the acrylic ones. It looks like a crayon, it draws like a crayon (probably also tastes like one), but you can blur it using brush and water. The result (see the gallery) seems more like painting than drawing.
After two days of doing something totally different from what I usually do, I felt exhausted. But it was pretty much worth it and I am again looking forward to attend another workshop like this.
