Charcoal studies

Still Life Value Study

We have been working on these for around 5 weeks

It is amazing how you view the pictures when you take

the time to sketch. I have never been taught this. 

Our next class was to learn measurement. Very confusing

but a necessity. When your placement on the canvas is right

and the values ALL is well. .

This is my value sketch of a man from an ART magazine. Our lesson consisted of finding a picture and doing a value sketch. Amazingly, I was able to draw the values and not think of him as a picture of a man. Below is the actual picture I used in the practice.

The next two are also value studies I did to learn.)
