I took an experimental drawing class with Harriet Hoover at Penland this summer. It was an amazing class. Penland has a tremendous reputation for arts instruction and it lived up to it! Here are a few of the pieces I drew during my two weeks there. More to come.
Experimented with paper, this is parchment.
A few of the tree drawing together on a wall. The larger one is 6 feet tall.
Very textured paper. Concentrated the darker values and detail in the center, then there is less value contrast and detail as you move out.
This is very thin paper. The light areas are full of texture.
