Here is my 'Cubism' piece for Rain's Thursday Art Date! It is done on coloured cardstock (8 1/2" x 11") in a 4B Staedler sketching pencil. The subject is a brass water container from different viewpoints.
Of course I didn't know much about Cubism so I found a bunch of videos on youtube which told a bit about its history and there are a lot of 'how-to' videos as well.
I knew Picasso, one of the founders drew more realistic art, as well as any of the masters. He evolved from that phase into cubism. I learned this involves looking at an object from different angles. This video inspired me the most. It shows the use of stipple, cross-hatching and shading, as well as looking at an object in different ways.
Thanks to Rain for this educational prompt! In fact, I went on to do a few more pieces which I will show in future posts. I still can't decide if I am a fan of cubism, maybe I am too orderly or need to learn more about it.
You made a great piece! Hugs, Valerie

Amazing! Love this piece!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love what you have created!
ReplyDeleteChristine,
ReplyDeleteOh WOW, this is soooo cool! I love your illustration!! Have a joyful Christmas season, my friend!
Great job Christine!
ReplyDeleteWow Christine you did a fabulous job!
ReplyDeletePersonally, Christine, I absolutely LOVE it. It's a real beauty and very cubist in nature.
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteYour sample is just a start, but I don't think of it as true cubism. Cubism is more angular, geometric and abstract than this. My opinion, of course. Good start, though.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your honest opinion Gigi. Abstract seems to go against my brain. It may be a good end for me too!
DeleteLooks great, and you learned about a new style :-D
ReplyDeleteWowza. I love this! It reminds me of some pieces I did in art class in high school; very cool.
ReplyDeleteTe quedo muy bien tienes mucho talento. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out that video. I know nothing about cubism. Your piece looks involved, wow. nice.
ReplyDeleteWould like to try different periods of art. Great job.
ReplyDeleteNice one

MUCH❤LOVE
Hi, I like what you did and also checked out the video. It IS grat and I saved it for future use. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun piece!
ReplyDeleteaww... you are cubism... wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great drawing Christine! I'm so happy you included that video link, I like how he described it. I'm not sure if I'm a fan either! But it was an interesting challenge! I'm a fan of crosshatching and stippling myself. I use those shading techniques with my ink and graphite drawings.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly went about this the right way. I may have to go to You-Tube and learn about Cubism, after the fact. Your art work certainly shows that you know what you are doing ... it is really beautiful. And maybe a little venture into Cubism will allow you to be less orderly now and then. I have to believe that would be a benefit. My husband is orderly (typical engineer mindset) and he is a slave to it. I am his offset because I am anything but orderly ... but I have learned to be orderly in some ways. It is necessary when you live life with someone ... it's called compromise :) Loved this post, Christine. Hope you are staying safe and well ...
