Drawing From... Jacques Callot

Jacques Callot (1592-1635) was a Baroque printmaker and draftsman.  He used pen and brown ink to draw "Horse Turned Left with Figure Studies".

 

I like the simple lines on the horse and the busy atmosphere created  by the figures around it.

 

 I tried using pen and brown ink for some of my drawings too.... 

 

 

I am pleased with these drawings and would enjoy using this medium again for other work in the future. I particularly like the shadow effects and lighter tones that this medium produces.

 

Perhaps I could try to create more of an atmosphere next time.
