As we began exploring tonal values we continued working on contour edges and proportions. Drawing the agave plant was initially challenging, but everyone used contour study sketches to get into the zone; then concentrated on depicting light and dark green leaves with gray tones. As the evening progressed, layer upon layer of shading and line work revealed exquisite compositions! Learning to draw on top of mistakes was a big breakthrough for all of you. Also, everyone got into wonderful detail work while using a kneaded eraser to show textures and highlights.
