Drawing Together Episode 4: Ceci N’est Pas Une Pipe!

this episode is Part of the Drawing Together live video series – learn more here

Could this be real?! I found my Grandfather’s old pipe and it got me thinking of the famous painting by Rene Magritte, “Ceci N’est Pas Une Pipe”. Today, I’ll change things up a bit by working on toned paper and focusing on the details of this object, thinking about really pushing the realism in the drawing.

Today, I’m working with:

Toned Paper
Vine Charcoal
Charcoal Pencil
White Chalk Pencil
Kneaded and Rubber Erasers

Better late than never. My father in law smoked a LOT of different pipes. This made me think of him!

Love it….you can feel the roundness of the bowl. My friend and I are doing it today so I’ll post mine later.

I had missed this one, among others the first week, and just finally went back and finished it! Better late than never.
