Experimental Drawing

work inspired by Drawing Experiments

In order to experiment with drawing, I first needed to identify what it means to draw. Four basic tools used in drawing—line, shading, negative space, and form— are used to depict what is there with accuracy.

In these experiments, I started with what was there but used these tools to create something new. For example, I did a drawing of daisies and then pulled the lines from the drawing to create something new. In other works in the series, I played with the negative space, shading and form of oak leaves and spheres.

Can you see something new?
