DRAWING CLASS MATERIALS LIST:

 

•Tools and Supplies for Drawing:

  • This is the book that I will be using in class, it is extremely useful and informative, everyone interested in learning the human form should own a copy.
    (It should also be available at Barnes and Noble in town)


I recommended that my students have this book.

  • An 18" x 24" drawing pad or individual sheets of paper are best with white or off white paper that will accept charcoal. This sized paper is recommended specifically for working with the figure.
  • The students will need a variety of charcoal pencils and vine charcoal sticks.
    The soft variety usually work best.
  • A kneaded eraser is an invaluable tool for removing charcoal.
  • A plumb line is a very useful tool (simply a small weight on a string 18" - 24" long)
    A fishing weight works well.
  • A small hand-held mirror (approx size 4"x 6" or larger) I have these in the studio for students to use.
  • Students should have a small travel size sketch book for homework and daily sketching-- it's fun!

ABOUT

~DRAWING & PAINTING~

"First you draw what you see.
Next, you draw what you know,
and only then will you know what it is that you see."
-Robert Beverly Hale-

This quote sums up the basic approach Bryce takes to teaching all disciplines.
___

Many of today's methods teach the first half of this concept but fail to go beyond and teach the student what it is that he/she is actually seeing. By visually breaking an object down into simple abstract forms, and retraining the right brain to take control and use its natural ability, one is then able to retrain the eye and remove many preconceived notions and symbols of how the untrained eye sees an object in nature. This simple process begins to teach the student to see objects in a new way, and allows the student to visually reconstruct an item in a more objective manner using the natural abilities that the right brain is suited for.



"If you think you are simply drawing what it is that you see,
you might be surprised to see
what it is that you have actually drawn."
