And when I think about it I haven't done any sustained contours like this one of Philip's for years -- this is a signal to correct that!

Thanks for sharing his work. These are excellent contours, but even sloppier ones teach so much about seeing. I'm enjoying browsing your blog.

I had meant to say something about the special qualities of contour drawing ... how it conveys three dimensions by line alone because of the intensity of seeing; and how it directly communicates the artist's experience to the viewer, from artist's hand to viewer's eye, almost unmediated -- I can't think of anything else with quite that effect.

I think I'll use that the next time I teach this method.Philip Hartiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281335628515014371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33295315.post-20769282151722885952013-10-29T02:37:18.597-05:002013-10-29T02:37:18.597-05:00Very informative and well written post!
