“The House That Jack Built”
Week Four-First Corner with Suggestions
Herein is the first corner of the Pen & Ink worksheet with suggestions from viewers to “The House That Jack Built” project. This is a camera shot rather than a digital scan so coloring is different from the previous “1st corner” post.
Thanks to all that have participated so far.
As I mentioned in the first post (June 16) of this project, not all suggestions could be incorporated into the image. Some suggestions I did not include could still find their way into another corner of the house.
An example of this-Of animals/reptile suggestions (which, I admit, I am apprehensive because drawing/painting animals/reptiles are not my strong suit), I received a possum, a raven, a cat, and a Komodo dragon. Of those, the cat was not used, but is still retained on the list for consideration at one of the other corners.
I intend this project to result into a viable painting and as I add items, the artist part of me must also take into consideration-color, appearance of depth, balance, and overall composition. As I start to lay out the painting, the continuance of shifting, additions, and alterations of suggestions can still take place up to the final strokes of the brush, while I still work to maintain the integrity of the drawing worksheet and the project in general.
Next week I will post the second corner with areas to be considered and look forward to additional suggestions.
The continuing posting schedule for the project is, as laid out:
Today, Monday, July 7; First corner with suggested items.
Monday, July 14; Post the second corner for suggestions of that area
Continue the sequence, and end the project with the posting of the completed painting.
