Continuous Line Drawing in Colour by Logan Clarke.This is fine at an early stage of my continuous line drawings, before loose ends are then connected up and one continuous line arrived at along with modifications to pattern and smoothing. It has about three different lines going and a few dead ends. Several did and we arrived at the result below. I did the head and neck and put some key marks elsewhere and invited members to come up and have a go at parts of the ostrich with my thick marker pen. Whilst they continued with their pictures, or started new ones, in the second half I started an Ostrich. I did not insist on complete continuous lines, as the main idea was that their drawings could flow, and many good results emerged. The members of the club completed pictures of animals or people with lines, but with a great variety of styles. It is in the Harrogate and Nidderdale Art Club spring exhibition this weekend. I completed a rough and ready version of the Rhino, which a few weeks later I spruced up and added colours as above. Shirley had seen me demonstrate at another club and gave an encouraging introduction.Īfter showing several pictures of my animals, mentioning a bit about my past and going through the basics of how to do a continuous line animal, it was time to do my first drawing before the members had a go themselves.įirstly I put my key marks on a sketched Rhinoceros, showed how to join up the marks in the main areas such as the head and legs and asked the members to start on their own subjects whilst I connected up more lines. Joan came with me to help and the room soon filled up with friendly, expectant, members. So we were in and I could cart all my kit and pictures up the stairs and decide on my set up. Shirley, who arranged demonstrations, arrived but could not unlock the door. No one had arrived, but I was encouraged by a notice in the window “Demonstration of Continuous Line Drawing by Mick Burton at 7.30pm”. This club is an end terrace house, extended into the next house I think, and they have sole use. It was a freezing evening and I parked outside in a narrow back street. I did a demonstration and workshop at Horsforth Arts Society, in Leeds, in January 2015. Rhinoceros, single continuous line drawing with colour sequence.
