Drawing from Bargue


Back to learning the basics, folks. I've temporarily dropped the Oil paints to pick up Charcoal. The figure painters from the 19th century learned anatomy from copying plates by Charles Bargue. I figured it couldn't hurt to do the same thing.
I'm hoping to learn a lot from it to improve the figurative quality of my paintings.

For someone 'back to learning the basics,' you sure seem to be a quick study! Keep up the good work!

Do continue Katelyn, there's plenty of time ahead for you. And mastering good drawing is luxury to a painter !

Ciao !
