Lesson 5: Transparency, Reflections, Shadows and the Art Of Illusion.
Reflections
Drawing Reflections is not hard. But you do have to be methodical and consistent. Make a deal with your self to
- Look for reflections in your every day encounters.
- Set aside 10mins a day for just that kind of observation.
- Take photos.
- Cut pictures out of magazines.
- Make looking at reflections a hobby.
- Have fun devising new ways to capture reflections.
- One of my favourite pastimes is photographing on Rainy Days. Try something like that and then...Make collages out of what you find.
- Soon as the habit of seeing becomes atuned you will be able to capture and incorporate the poetry of reflections into your creations.
- But until then do take the time to slow down and draw from photographs
- or use any device that helps you to see.
Soon you will feel comfortable and confident and the skills will be safely tucked away in your..... repertoire! Bravo!
