Bargue Plate: Jeune Femme

Nov 10th, 2009 Posted in 19th Century, Drawing Matters, Modern Classical Training | View Comments

Here is my next completed Bargue drawing copy. The drawing is more highly rendered and required a lot of work in the halftones and a smooth transition between the shadows to the halftones. The first two drawings I completed were more “stop-modeled” and did not require a high rendering approach to give the impression of three-dimensionality.  For this portrait copy the forms were soft and rounded making the construction more challenging.
