Two Cents and a Thousand Words

Matching the machine

This is from an exercise in art class called ‘matching the machine’. It’s a 5×7 photo I took from Cadillac Mountain in Bar Harbor, and we needed to extend it three inches on each side using pencils and a black Prismacolor pencil. I really like how it turned out; I think it helped me see that I can ‘draw’, but I can’t draw something from nothing. I have to have something to work with first. (Click on it above and it’ll get big.)
