Theatro Marcello in Rome

The OU students put the in-studio drawing lesson (that Daisy Williams delivered Monday) to work on site today.  We met at ISU’s academic center and headed over to the nearby Teatro Marcello to draw.  The students practiced the charcoal and pastel techniques they’ve been learning, while I used the mechanical pencil I had on hand.

The sketch I made in class.

Every one of OU’s study abroad students…

…decided to enroll in the drawing class.

Some of them are art or art history majors…

…others are majoring in architecture.

Today, they all practiced charcoal drawing techniques…
