Things I took away from this exhbition:
- Different ways artists used both wet and dry materials on paper – but I was looking more at the use of dry materials e.g. pastels
- Working with the textures of the paper
- Different ways of creating tone, showing light and shadow
- I particularly love the Degas ‘Woman Combing Her Hair’ for the way he’s really captured the movement. The places where he’s redrawn the lines, e.g. her arm and knee – even if that was just him correcting himself, it really feels like you can see her moving. It looks like frames of an animation layered on top of each other
