Drawing the Torso in Three Colors

[New Masters Academy]

In this lesson, master draftsman and painter Danny Galieote will demonstrate a variation on the traditional trois crayons, or three-color chalk drawing technique. You will learn how to block in a gesture of the figure, establish three-dimensional structures, and add core shadows and rhythms using your primary color. Next, you will discover how to work into your drawing with darker and white chalks to push the tonal range and enhance the visual impact of your work.

Is it me only …but I do not see the model, where is it?

Right, I do not see the model either…I guess we need to request the insertion into the lessons, right?

[gil_mello]

This is a good lesson, too bad we can’t see the model he is drawing from, plus the sound is not very clear either.
