Assignment:

Either, make your version of the drawing from the class, either as a complete picture or maybe just a section of it as a little vignette.

Or, You can add graphite powder to your paper and just see what emerges! The subject can be anything you like, it does not have to be a landscape. Use your imagination and creativity. Again, it need not be an entire picture, just a little vignette would be wonderful.

However, if you want to do the drawing from the class, I have included a copy of the finished picture and three progress drawings to help you. These can be downloaded from the Projects and Resources page. Remember that every finished drawing will be slightly different, depending on how you blend the graphite powder. I would really love to see your work!

Materials you will need:

Drawing paper, about A4 size (not too smooth)
HB graphite pencil
Craft knife
Small hard eraser, or a little piece cut from a larger eraser
Putty eraser
Paper blending stump (The 'Derwent' paper stumps are nice and flexible)
Small soft brush

Getting Started:

If you have chosen to do the picture demonstrated in the class, you'll find all of the files you need to complete the drawing on the Projects and Resources Page. You will see them listed in the right hand column of this page.You must be logged into Skillshare through your internet browser in order to see them listed. If you are using the Skillshare app on an iPad or other tablet you may not see them.

The files I have included here for you to download are:

Sharing your work:

Please upload a photo or a scan of your finished picture on the Projects and Resources page. There's a little green button that says 'Create Project', you can upload it there. I am really looking forward to seeing your work. If you share your completed painting on social media please mention that you painted it in a Skillshare class, tutored by Anne Kerr.
