I was telling a friend earlier in the evening that for the longest time I had thought that Still Life was boring and couldnt understand the need to do them. Recently, after struggling with values and tones I have come to understand the need for learning to draw simple shapes and Still Life as 3D objects.
Kuhu is a good teacher and a few instructions helped me “see” the values. I like this one more than one that I had done earlier in the week. We moved on to figure drawing and short poses. I used my Sanguine Conte for the first time and am quite pleased with the result. I also need to set the newsprint aside for drawing exercises and stop using them for the life drawing sessions.

Hi Ujwala!
I’ve dropped by a few times on one or another of your blogs in the past few months so I thought I’d take the time out to write a comment on your commendable progress
You are getting better and better and your work is just beautiful…
and I think I’ll join some art classes too…
I’ve always been kind of scared taking up art full-time although I’ve always wanted to do it and you have proved to be quite inspirational on that field
Where are these Kuhu’s life drawing classes that you are taking? In Dhaka? I’m in Delhi so I was wondering if you could help me find something here besides the non-collegiate thing @ College of Art…
What did they teach you @ College of Art by the way?
Thanks a lot in advance!
And keep up the good work with your art!
Regards,
Henna.
Hi Henna, thanks for the compliments and for dropping by. I hope you continue to do so.
I have sent you an email answering your queries holler if you havent received it as yet and I’ll resend.
I have to agree with Henna. I pop in the other blog, but sometimes don’t always remember those that have multiple sites.
This drawing is superb. You are definitely getting better and better. I think what you do at Kuhu’s is wonderful. Keep it up, looking forward to more and more, even if I don’t always have time to stop and comment.
Robin – Thank you very much. I know I’ve made it confusing by having 3 blogs all art related. Made a lot of sense to me then – one as portfolio, one for the assignments and one for links
one of these days I’ll merge all 3 into one! I love your drawings and paintings and follow your blog too. I’m a bit shy about leaving comments especially when the work is as good as yours.
