The Salinas Sketchers used lines, shapes and patterns to create amazing abstract drawings. Welcome to new sketchers Gina and Desiree! Scroll down to view everyone's drawings.
After studying artwork by artists such as Kandinsky and Mondrian, students drew their own abstract compositions. Shown clockwise, starting upper left, are drawings by Deontay, Marcelo, H., and Ricky
Gina's frog (upper left) and Desiree's toucan (upper left) show how they got right to work in drawing with lines and shapes while looking for accurate proportions.

Weeks 2,3, & 4: Form, Contours, Positive/Negative Space
The Salinas Sketchers are making BIG-time progress! Everyone stepped up to the challenges drawing realistically as we continued with measuring accurate proportions. We also explored using positive and negative space to find contour edges of form as shown in H.'s egret (upper left) shows confident contour lines, shading, and highlights. Ricky's dragon fly (upper right) shows accurate proportions (sizes of shapes compared to other shapes) and realistic contour edges.
Shown above are excellent examples of measuring proportions while looking at reference pictures. Marcelo's jaguar (upper left) and Bernabe's jaguar show 3D form of the big cat and patterns for its fur and tail.
Dangelo began to explore our upcoming abstract drawing lesson. Shown above are his sketches.
The dinosaur called Elasmosaurus (upper left) was drawn by Jesus while using one of my how-to-draw books.You can find his drawing in eXpReSsiOn sEsSiOn along with Ignacio's robot (upper left): Click here
