Inspired by........ the wax resist drawings of Henry Moore
During this worldwide crisis, I send best wishes to all viewers and hope that we can all stay positive and get through this. All we can do is hope that a solution is not too far away. Stay safe, look after yourself and those around you, always listen to expert advice and if told to do so STAY INSIDE. Thank you to all those who are working through this crisis and providing vital services in the fight against CORVID-19 wherever you live.
I wanted to create a series of videos that show the techniques of artists who have always inspired me, beginning here with the work of British sculptor Henry Moore. Samples of his wax resist drawings are shown at the start of the video.
I like to film in real-time with no timelapse sequences so although this is a long video it is broken up into 5 different pieces of work.
Method and materials
Drawing 1
Loose sketch with vine charcoal, spray with fixative, draw over with wax crayon (white, yellow) Paint over with diluted acrylic paint.
Drawing 2
Abstract monochrome sketches with charcoal, simple quickly drawn lines, spray with a fixative (you can use hairspray as a cheaper alternative) Draw over the charcoal lines with a white wax crayon. Use a black drawing ink to apply a wash over each sketch. Allow for drying then build up some darker tones.
