Drawing Light at the Seattle Asian Art Museum
Rebecca Strong
$136
A one-day workshop on location at the Seattle Asian Art Museum.
Each student will choose a sculpture displayed in dramatic light for making a drawing on black
paper with white colored pencil in one 3-hour session. I will demonstrate how focusing on
drawing just the light on an object allows the image to materialize on the paper with a real
sense of form and space.
Required Supplies
I will supply all materials. Students will keep their drawings but return everything else to me. Or
you may bring your own materials.
Black Arches cover or any other black drawing paper, not smaller than 7 x 11 and not larger
than 9 x 12 inches
One piece of plain copy paper to lean hand/arm on while drawing
White colored pencils
Kneaded eraser or black eraser
Support—a clipboard or drawing board, foam core board, or a book
A pencil sharpener—one that captures the shavings
Optional—A bamboo skewer to use as a measuring stick
