Draw by Drawing Aug 30
Subject: Ocean drawing with graphite pencils inspired by Vija Celmins (below)
Materials needed: a range of graphite pencils (9B, 8B, 7B, 6B, 5B, 3B, 2B, B), eraser, pencil sharpener, ruler, soft rag, 11 x 14″ all-purpose sketchbook (or a sheet of good drawing paper 11 x 14″). We will be working on only one drawing this session so it would be a good opportunity to use a higher quality of paper such as Stonehenge or BFK Rives (however a sketchbook is fine).

Subject: Pen & Ink landscape drawing in the style of Vincent van Gogh
Materials needed: bowl-pointed nib for drawing, black ink, 11 x 14 sketchbook, ruler, pencil, Paper towel.
Any kind of black pen can be used in lieu of the bowl-point nib and ink.
See attached image so you know what a bowl-pointed nib looks like (local art supply stores will sell you a calligraphy nib rather than looking to see if they have a “bowl pointed” nib). This nib has a good point for drawing and can hold a fair amount of ink.
