  15. Vine Charcoal • Vine charcoal is made from charred grape vines. It is more gray than black, when compared to compressed charcoal. It is great for quick sketches that can be easily wiped away.

  16. YOUR Still Life • How do I begin? • Walk around the still life and choose your favorite view. Be sure not to block others. Use your stool and either a table or drawing board for your paper. • Study the still life and decide what you will draw. Will you leave out an object? • Once you have a plan, lightly sketch with the vine charcoal. Make sure you are thinking about composition: thirds, odds, depth, and overlapping. • Once your vine sketch is to your liking (and Mrs. Barge’s) then begin lightly with pencil. DO NOT ADD DETAILS YET, only basic shapes. Keep light until it’s right! • Slowly build up value, be sure to add texture. • Add darks and erase whites. • Due Thursday, 8/22
