The Beat Goes On

I've been reading Juliette Aristides book, Lessons in Classical Drawing. She talks a lot about the rhythm of the line, how alternating between straight and curved lines, between lost and found edges and between dark and light areas creates action in your drawing and pause points for the eye to rest. Also, "each choice you make when putting pencil to paper has visual implications. Not enough unity and you have chaos. Too much unity and you get bored." She suggests playing with the thickness and thinness of lines, "this creates a lively variation of line ... not copying nature in detail, but in essence."

Our thanks to Breanne for her wonderful poses last night.
