After two weeks without it, it sure was great being able to go to breakfast with Girl2 again. With soccer, Brownies, and sleep overs with her friends, I’m afraid my time with her is just going to keep getting shorter. But for now, we’ll go to breakfast together as much as we can and sketch.
NUDITY ALERT! Duh! I am spending 5 minutes a day practicing drawing naked ladies nude figures. This is part of my #100DaysArt process where I pick something to practice for 100 days in a row. Â Here are the 5 minute nudes for the week of February 20, 2012 through February 29, 2012. All of the previous 5 minute nudes may be found in the Gallery under 5 minute nudes.
This week I discuss the process I go through when planning a painting composition. I touch on the golden mean, then quickly reduced it to the rule of thirds. I talk about cropping out uneccesary stuff and then how to break the rules for emphasis.

This week in the classroom we talked about negative spaces. Â Negative space the area not occupied by your subject. Â You try to only see the shape made by where your subject isn’t. Â Dede (@inkiwell) aptly described it as drawing the air around you subject. Â This is not to be confused with a silhouette. A silhouette is the outer perimeter of your subject drawn as a shape. Â If you cut the silhouette out, you will be left with the negative space. Â This is a handy tool to help understand better some part of your subject that might be confusing to the eye. Â For instance, if you are having difficulty with the perspective of the rails of a bar stool, focusing on the negative space will trick your eye into seeing what’s going on.
