Henry Moore...

I was excited to see these drawings by Henry Moore at the Hepworth gallery, because I had only really seen his sculptures at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I really like how he uses dark backgrounds and draws in with white. Or this could be the other way around. Either way I think it creates a very interesting effect and makes it very emotive. The messages seem to read pain and hardwork. So the dark background, really portrays this. I also like how he works in continuous line. A new technique that I have just learnt to do. It creates very interesting and sometimes quite tonal drawings. The way he draws his lines means it builds up form, wothout an actual outline.
