Learning to See



Personal Expression:

The techniques tools, and styles that I found most comfortable was the ink pen, because I found that with the ink pen I was able to control the ink with more thoroughly. I used the brushes with ink as well for a large portion of time to make washes as a background for my drawings, as I found this tool made the most interesting shape and design out of the ink. I also enjoyed experimenting with the simplification of shapes and landscapes.

I found I was able to combine my sense of expression into my shape representation by the simplification and abstraction of the shapes. By simplifying the lines I found I was able to interpret what I saw in such a way that I had control of the shapes and how I wanted to represent them.

I have found that my individual drawing style as a representational artist (and what I am interested in) is simplification of figures so that they form unique and interesting shapes.
