The Snapshot Focus

Today's lesson explored the snap shot perspective. The concept is how a camera has introduced the idea of spontaneity, unplanned moments, and objects cut out of the frame of view. In this case the coffee cup and the dessert plate are both cut out of view, suggesting a casual moment in time.



Also, as I had time, I drew a still life of a bowl of apples:



I am pretty pleased with how the shading, forms, and composition turned out.

Apple - Getting Better

I took another try with the apple, this time with a real model. I think with many lines and shading it came out ok, though I had to wait a while and take a step back to appreciate what I had drawn.

A barn and apples...are still difficult

Took another stab at drawing the apple today. I think more lines and different shades really helps. It still doesn't look like an apple at first glance, but it is better than last time.

Also I drew a barn for fun. =)

Apples are Difficult

Apples are difficult. It is difficult to get that kind of round shape. Well, it is going to take practice anyway.
