Thursday, June 14, Bracelet Shading. Sarah Simblet, author of Botany for the Artist , uses "bracelet shading" to suggest how branches come forward or go back in the z-dimension.
It is this contrast that will allow you the potential to explore tonal patterns in your arrangement. Use a soft dark pencil for shading the darkest forms and a putty eraser to create highlights by lifting out some of the tonal marks to reveal the brilliance of the white paper.
The subtle shading of dark and light tones gives solidity to forms and atmosphere to your drawing. This monochromatic watercolour sketch of the same still life illustrates how a similar effect of light and shade can be achieved by using just three tones.
Limiting yourself to such a small selection of tones will help you look closely for strong shapes and effective tonal contrasts. Begin by studying the shapes of the objects and also observe the play of light across their surfaces. With a soft pencil , make a series of loose marks to establish the scale of the arrangement of objects in relation to the size of the paper. Start with the largest object, the plate, so you can use it as a gauge to draw the other objects to scale.
At this stage use a lighter pencil to accentuate the contours such as the spout of the coffeepot. These outlines serve as a framework for modelling the objects by shading with light and dark tones. Joshua Nava Arts Art current.
