Thread Drawing by Jin Zhang
The weather is nice. Although the students have been drawing for only one month, I thought I must prepare them for outdoor sketching. So I introduced thread drawing technique today, which is to use fast continuous moving lines like a long thread to draw quickly. To my surprise this technique seems to be more difficult for the students to grasp. I thought it was hard for the mind to go slow; apparently it is equally hard for the mind to give up control and let the eye and the hand go fast. So for this week’s gallery you are seeing more contour drawing of shoes. I am sure I will have some thread drawings from the students to show after they practice for a week.
