Here is a
new drawing I was working on this week for a demo in my classes. It is a
detailed study of the upper and lower teeth. I am introducing more life drawing
for my advanced students. I feel it is very important for the students to draw
from life and capture the details of the shape, line, and form through values
and tones. Some of my students will become doctors or dentist and it is very
important to understand the science behind the drawing.
Leonardo
da Vinci, who is without doubt the most significant artist-anatomist of all
time, first undertook a series of detailed studies of the human skull,
mandible, and teeth in the1480’s, borrowing from the architect's rigorous
technique of representing three-dimensional forms in plan, section, elevation,
and different perspective views. Through the course of his sketches and
renderings he invented a new vocabulary for the history of scientific
illustration.
I will
post more of my studies this week as well as some oil paintings I am working on
of fruit. Yes this is my favorite time of year to visit the orchards in my area. I love to paint the colorful fruit that I find. So please check back later this week to see my paintings.
Thanks
for visiting my blog, I will keep posting new works.
