Description

On this innovative guide, master art instructor William Maughan demonstrates tips on how to create a realistic human likeness by the use of the classic and highly accurate modeling technique of chiaroscuro (Italian for “light and dark”) developed by Leonardo da Vinci all through the High Renaissance.

Maughan first introduces readers to the fundamentals of this centuries-old technique, showing tips on how to analyze form, light, and shadow; use dark pencil, white pencil, and toned paper to create a full range of values; use the elements of design to beef up a likeness; and capture a sitter’s gestures and proportions. He then demonstrates, step-by-step, how to attract each and every facial feature, develop visual awareness, and render the pinnacle in color with soft pastels.
