| 1/19/21 Adam, 10-min. pose |
The Life Drawing + “Chiaroscuro” series continues, and
model Adam gave us a dramatic session with fantastic lighting! A couple weeks
ago when I did the chiaroscuro session, it didn’t occur to me to use
black paper until it was too late. This time, I was ready, and Adam’s strong
natural light on one side made every pose a delightful challenge. For some
poses, he also used a red secondary light, which gave his shaded side a soft,
pinkish illumination without competing with the primary light. In addition to
holding beautiful poses, he understands the importance of good lighting when
modeling.
If you’re wondering what kind of black paper I used, it’s
not the Stillman & Birn Nova that I’ve been using for my nocturnal sketches. It’s a Shizen Designs journal. Review forthcoming soon!

I think all of your hand sketches on the black paper really prepared your for these! Bravo!!
