Light breaking through spirals
Description
This time there are two tasks. The subject is still the spiral. We’ll stay with the spiral, it’s too good to let it go already. But the theme becomes a little more concrete: the spiral as light. You’ll approach it as follows: First, you draw a square on your drawing sheet. With a ruler. And within this square, you draw a spiral. It has one line. Only one line. Then you go into the square with a color of your choice, it can be black ink, or another tint, or charcoal or pencil or ballpoint pen. You go into the square with small strokes, which then blur into a surface, so even that only the line remains white. The background becomes dark. The spiral remains in the white of the drawing sheet. And then you confine this line as close as possible. You must frame the line from the left and the right with the color until only the spiral remains free. It would be nice if your square was quite large for the line to have enough space in it and so that you have room to go in between the lines of the spiral with your color. This is the first exercise.
