DRAWING ELLIPSES at MIKE SIBLEY FINE ART

Very accurately! The eye of the viewer can detect any irregularity in a shape that it fully understands. A "square" that does not have sides of equal length, a "circle" that is not circular and an "ellipse" that deviates from perfection is immediately noted as being not what it claims to be - or, more precisely, it is not what the eye expects to see in that situation and is detected as being "foreign". In short, a "circular" circle is accepted in passing and the overall reality of the scene is maintained. What is an Ellipse? An ellipse is simply a circle seen in perspective. Breaking the problem down So, as with the circle, an ellipse contains four identical segments. Study the geometry Now let's draw a box around our ellipse so we can properly study the geometry of one of those segments. First attempts Keep your template or computer-drawn examples handy - they'll help you to draw the right curves in the following exercises.

Race Horses by Edgar Degas. October 2008. I approached City-Wide Open Studios differently this year.

October 2008

I wanted to make as many visits to disparate locations as possible so I didn't spend as much time as I like talking with artists. For example, where in the past two years I spent part of both Saturday and Sunday at visiting studios on the Erector Square weekend, this year I had to squeeze Erector Square into two or so hours on Sunday before I went to work. I started on Friday with the Hamden AIRS, following that with a visit to Westville.

There I took in the AIRS as well as other attractions at ArLOW, and the Kehler Liddell Gallery. Saturday started with Westville-a return to the AIRS and over to West Rock Gallery to savor Gar Waterman's sculpture. (Before continuing, I want to note a caveat. The Hamden AIRS focused on photography. Reynard was showing medium format color prints, night photography. Gital, and she appreciates the various ways that different emulsions respond to different light situations. Avery. Elders. InsidersArtistLoft. In a very short time, if you do the lessons with some degree of regularity and get active in your learning, you too will be drawing caricatures!

I have no doubt. In fact that's a promise. You'll be stepping into a whole new way of looking at things, and a whole new way of putting your unique stamp on to and into everything you draw. You'll also benefit directly and indirectly from "R-mode's" other spin-off progeny like enhanced idea generation, increased creativity, and laser-like observational skills. You'll even learn another way to relax. Back to top How do you get "active" in your learning? If a lesson seems like it has holes in it, if you want more assignments, if you see glaring typos, if you think a lesson needs more illustrations, please also let me know by sending a message.
