Neg Chair

Graphite drawing - approx 8" x 10" size paper - This exercise out of the book, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain teaches neg. spaces. You actually draw the shapes inbetween the chair - not the chair. This drawing was also done in the same method as the "hand holding a banana". The paper was first completely covered in graphite using the side of the pencil led, then rubbed with a paper towel in circles to tone the paper. Start the drawing and lift out the graphite highlights using a kneeded erasure.

Comment by Roena King on October 15, 2010 at 13:06: LOL Peter, I am glad you liked my attempt at a antique chair. I would really enjoy restoring furniture, but I dont have the knowledge to do it. Antiques in perfect condition are worth tons of money. So, I figure we are worth a lot. he he Ro
