Studying how light renders form is integral to a classical foundation in drawing and painting. Understanding how light and shadow work helps create convincing form and volume in portraits and still lives. This is true whether you work in a realistic or painterly style.
Using charcoal as our medium, we’ll first study how light renders cubes, spheres, and cylinders; which will help us render the face’s complex forms. We’ll then proceed to the study of light on a plaster cast, and then finally to a live model. By the end of this class you should have a thorough understanding of how light behaves in the shadow and highlight areas, and how to utilize the invaluable effect of simultaneous contrast.
