This is the fourth  Drawing with… Session dedicated to the great Rodin. His drawings reveal an artist incredibly prolific and talented, seemingly animated by a perennial artistic frenzy,  constantly experimenting, searching new ways of representing the human figure and find new creative possibilities. Copying his work and methods, can inspire us and help stimulate our own creativity .

For this session of “Drawing with…”, I have found a few more, of his very compelling studies, executed in graphite and water media washes. Like for the previous sessions, we will be copying a few of his works, about 4 or 5, a great occasion to practice drawing quick, expressive artworks and appreciate the results of his great creative mind.

Materials:

• white, off white and brown or gray mid-value toned paper (about as dark as a brown paper bag).
• Charcoal in sticks and or pencils, white chalk, Graphite pencils (B-2B), nib and brown or black ink, a few watercolors: burnt Sienna, black, blue and white gouache, possibly Titanium or permanent white. A round watercolor brush #8 or 10, either synthetic or natural sable.
