Lesson IV: The Correct Way To Hold A Pencil

Posted: June 22nd, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Lesson IV | 70 Comments »

We are 4 weeks into the course and every week I receive messages from folks saying they’d really like to join our class, but profess to have no artistic ability.  Class, please join me in a collective round of wing flapping and chicken noises.

Thank you.  Now that we’ve got that out of our systems, I will address all of you hesitant enrollees with a serious quote by the great artist and Renaissance man, Michelangelo: “If people knew how hard I work to gain my mastery, it wouldn’t seem wonderful at all.”

Similarly, if you breakdown any complicated project into small steps, the end result will not seem unattainable at all.  I ask you this: do any of the lessons thus far seem impossible?  No.  Have enrollees of all ages and skill sets been able to produce exciting and varied homework?  Yes.

The point being: ANYONE can learn to paint, and in this classroom, where individuality and creative is treasured, I submit that the only thing holding you back is fear.

Class, another round of flaps and clucks please… thank you.

So… to all you tempted yet apprehensive auditors, The Tutor invites you to tackle your fears, get creative, and “Enroll” in class today!

Now: it’s time to spit out our gum, silence our cell phones, and watch Lesson IV: The Correct Way To Hold A Pencil:

Pat yourselves on the backs, students; you’ve completed another lesson!  Your homework assignment is to create an image transfer using paper and pencil.

Step 1: select an image that you like.  This can be something that you draw, pull from the web, or take from a newspaper or magazine (like a band’s logo or a panel from a comic book).  Print or photocopy this image and feel free to enlarge or shrink it to any size you see fit.

Step 2: place the paper, image-side down, against a flat, illuminated surface (a light table, a window in the sunlight, a Plexiglas board in front of a lamp).  Using your sharpened pencil from Lesson II, trace the reverse image onto the backside of your paper.

Step 3: place your image, traced-side down, onto your intended transfer surface (an illustration board, a canvas, a piece of cardboard, etc).  You may want to tape the image in place so that it does not move.  Now: pressing your pencil firmly against the paper, draw with smooth wiping motions until the entire image is evenly covered by strokes.  Remember: we are not writing a letter; we are drawing… so be sure to hold your pencil correctly.

Step 4: remove the paper.  An exact image transfer should now be visible.  If there are faint areas or gaps in your image, you may have missed a spot when tracing (Step 2) or not thoroughly scrubbed your image during transfer (Step 3).  If so, don’t despair; practice makes perfect!

Knowing how to create a successful image transfer is a valuable tool for any painter: having the ability to preserve our original drawings before we cover our lines in paint will ensure that we can always “retrace” our steps, especially if we mess up.  And knowing the correct way to hold a pencil will be essential in later lessons.

Once you feel that you have the hang of it, submit videos or pictures of your work.  Always remember to state your name and what you’re doing—e.g. “My name is Calliope, and I’m holding a pencil, the correct way, with The Tutor.”  Check the “Homework” link above for additional submission details.

See you next week, pupils!

    Good Evening Tutor.
    Allow me to extend my congratulations on another lesson well taught, and extend my deepest apologies– my homework will be late this week.
    I’ve loaned my camera to a fellow pupil, that she may enroll. But fear not, for I will be practicing what you preach.

    Tutor: Very much enjoyed the lesson. Will ponder the possibilities….lots of scribbles to be done!

    I am going to have to get a new memory card for my camera or I’ll have to record in 22sec bits again…hence why the last lesson had so many parts to begin with, sorry. I will try and get this ASAP!

    Dear Tutor,
    It is my displeasure to inform you that I’ll no longer be able to participate in your exceedingly interesting class. I’m disappointed in myself, though I have done nothing to prove it, I’ve always thought I was a motivated student. Issues have come up that have gotten in the way of my completing the homework. I just wanted to apologise, and tell you that I’ll still be watching the videos, attempting to learn as much as I can from The Tutor. Just think of me as the creepy person lurking at the back of the classroom.

    Ah, this is certainly a technique I’m not unfamiliar with! I use this a lot when I’m putting designs onto wood to burn. Unfortunately I don’t have any good wood to burn, so I’m stuck with paper as my transfer surface.

    For my image, I chose one that I drew myself:
    http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i219/lezzy-cat/art%20shtuf/100_1901.jpg
    I sat in at my doorwall, using the light from outside to trace. Progress pics:

    Tutor, with the greatest respect, you are an easel tease.
    You have Michelangelo, so I’ll take Da Vinci. Am I the only one who senses a kind of love/hate sexual tension between those two? C’mon, two geniuses driven by a passion none other can understand, furtive glances across an illegal anatomist’s table, Michelangelo ranting at Da Vinci in public to mask his more tender feelings, am I the only one who sees it? Am I? Really? Well, fine… doesn’t mean I’m not right.

    Good Evening My One and Only Tutor, and fellow Pupils!

    Just squeakin in before the deadline, again. Nothing too excitingly creative about what I did for this assignment, however I did choose to use the design that I will be getting a tattoo of this week. I stole 2 lines from different repo! songs to come up with the wording “With Integrity and Honesty, I’m Free At Last”!! Hopefully this week I can get back to being excessive and goin all out for the assignment….

    Thank you so much, this is a frickin blast!!! And good vibes to all the peeps here having technical difficulties….

    It’s official, I’m not putting music into my videos anymore. YouTube, once again, muted everything. Unfortunately, this time there was talking at the beginning and end, which is now gone.
    To sweeten things more, I confidently disposed of all the edited material and even the ‘pre-drafts’. With one swift click of the mouse I told the trash can to empty itself, and now I’m sitting here. . . .
    I guess I’ll take a day to see what I can do with the little video I can use. . . . .
    Oh, and I had an idea. My original passion is writing, so, since music is no more, I’m going to sub-title or bubble in small things that I wrote to fill those boring voids. Timing will be interesting, but I think I can get the hang of it.

  65. Gravatar 65 Desiré said at 3:21 am on August 14th, 2010:

    Alright, crisis averted, but not without maiming the video a bit. I’ll go sit in the corner and think about what I did now.

    I do take credit for this symbol. I created it mehself.
    And, no, it’s not an eye. It’s a repeated pattern. See if you figure it out.
