overhead still-life
Saturday, April 21, 2012
I’m currently teaching a beginning drawing class. In the classroom is a large mirror suspended off the ceiling that allows you to see an overhead view of one’s subject matter. So I set up a still-life of objects on the floor underneath this mirror and had the students draw a bird’s-eye-view of the things I had arranged. While they were busy drawing away, I did a quick pen & ink sketch in my sketchbook, that can be seen below.
