Drawing, Mixed Media Class #2, Art

Art of the outside world. “What is the difference between mixed media and multi-media artworks? … multi-media is generally used to define an artwork that uses or includes a combination of electronic media, such as video, film, audio and computers.” Tate: Mixed Media

Using those media to draw on the results from last week. [Mixed Media Class #1]

There are additional marks on all three sheets. They are most obvious here.

Left pastels, right pencils.

We were charged to produce two works that were only drawing. I deeply dislike pencils. So smudgy. I opted to work with these because I don’t like them. Cheer for my artistic bravery. What did I discover? I can see how both pencils and pastels would produce interest effects. I still dislike working with them. They never dry & they get everywhere.

Update. Turns out I have mentioned my aversion previously, “Hate pencils. I hate how they smear. I hate how graphite gets everywhere.” [Free To Good Home, Pens, Pencils, Notebooks 2021]

Onwards!
