Hand drawing



Drawing my hand was something I never liked doing.  Hands are incredibly difficult to draw, there are so many bones within a hand I feel you almost have to take this into consideration.  I did blind contour for most of the time because I found that easier for me to get the shape of my fingers.  I used a 6B pencil because I feel more familiar with pencil than drawing with charcoal.

Drawing with my non-dominant hand was really hard and I was not too fond of it or the drawings I produced.  However it challenged my motor skills in a way.  The bottom drawing of my hands are kind of sloppy compared to the top.  I feel the second time around I spent more time on the detail and moving slower with my drawing process.   I think it would be cool to use my non-dominant hand to draw abstract people or shapes, so yes I would consider utilizing that.

Color is the way the eye perceives reflected light off of objects within the natural world.  It is demonstrated in the video that in Venice the light has a particular way of being.  In the video the "Vientiane light" is described as having a yellow-red hue, which we see in the painting the woman the documentary focuses on visits.  They are amazed by the way the painter captured this light realistically in a way that had never been done before.  I was really struck by the ways of which painters in history described their experiences with color.  Especially with Vincent Van Gogh's feelings towards how he used color within painting.  He described that the colors he used in the cafe painting were to reflect his distaste with the mood cafe's made him feel.  Reds and greens were handled in a way to demonstrate these emotions.  The woman within the video also seemed to have a similar view, saying that she paints with emotion.  Her extensive use of c...
