A sketch of a photograph by Blossfledt
Pencil on paper
IGCSE Critical Analysia
Karl Blossfeldt
Although it seems like a sketch at first glance, this is a black and white photograph taken by Karl Blossfeldt called ‘Bryonia Alba’, also known as, ‘White bryony, Leaf with tendril’. Blossfeldt (June 1865 - December 1932) was a German artist who specialised in photography and sculpting, he taught art at The Royal Arts Museum in Berlin and continued on to becoming a professor. He is most famous for his close-up photographs of plants.
This is a black and white photograph of a section of a White Bryony plant. I have reproduced it by pencil sketching it.
Since it’s a photograph none of the texture or line or shape has been implied with the use of a media, it is all actual texture and shape.
The light it is in really brings out the detail and textures on the leaf as well as on the stem. As a result of the different values that the light creates we can assume that it is a creeping kind of plant because of its rope-like stem and twirling tendril. Even without colour there is an evident contrast between the plant and the light background. The light brings out all the detail in the leaf in particular. How the veins of the leaf pop out and how the darker areas show where the leaf is slightly crumpled.
I chose this picture to reproduce by Blossfeldt instead of some of his other ones because it is part of a White Bryony plant, which I found out is an actual creeping plant. I felt that the shape of the tendril and texture on the leaf and stem could help me with my final piece. Also I like how with this one as opposed to my other two research drawings was not in colour and required me to create value and texture by different pressures with the pencil instead of different colours. To my surprise this research drawing had taken me the longest out of all three. I found it very difficult to imply the right texture on the leaf especially to try and show the veins on the leaf bulging out.
