This bridge was intimidating, ha! But glad I did it because I learned new techniques like the card stock and eraser! Great way to do an edge! Thank you Scott!
Claude, I love it. It is so mysterious!
My bridge attempt. Also, Scott suspension bridges mut be perfectly straight otherwise the main cables won’t traJust a FYI to a comment in the video.nsfer the weight to the foundation.
Thanks Scott for all your help. This was a challenge, but worth the effort. !
Merci Scott. Looking forward to a year of learning with you. Thank you for doing all this work.
Merci! Learning a lot from Scott!
Wow, this is beautiful!
Very nice work here!
Great job here, Brenda! I’m glad you stuck it out. It looks great!
This is wonderful. I love the way the bridge emerges out of the dense fog!
Beautiful work!
Learned a lot about straight lines and masking.
Great Scott! Never thought we could do this in the time allotted…. Great sharing on the techniques, especially the use of the card for additive and subtractive work. The time just flew by! Thank you Scott. Done on DeSerres Fabriano white mixed media using Staedtler Mars Luminograph set 100 of 12 pencils, blending stump and chiffon cloth and various erasers.
At first, I wasn’t to excited about the subject, but as I got into it, I started appreciating it for the wonderful exercise it was. Tough, though. Thanks, Scott.
The bridge taught me a lot about perspectives
Thanks so much, Scott
