From the "Soft Edges" of an egg to the "Hard Edges" of a paper bag--this week let's mix them in one drawing. At the same time let's all practice simplifying, "reductionism," getting rid of too much visual clutter, choosing which details to love and keep. So . . .
Whoever will, you are invited to this week's Keeping At It Challenge: Draw a Campbell's Soup Can.
To better see the soft edges of the round cylinder with its reflected light, and the hard edges of the can's flat edges, it will be worth your while to take a minute--one of five, time it--to cut out a piece of white paper the size of the label and scotch tape it on. Oooee! Look at those tones! Do a few quick sketches. Then tear off your taped paper and go at the red and white with all the jumble.
Post your Challenge drawings on Soup Can Saturday.
PS "Don't wait till Saturday." Post some of your other non-can stuff as you go. If you can't and we have a Saturday Splurge of posts, that's good too.
