Shade a draped sheet with chalk and charcoal to a high level of refinement, following classical methods. Sadie’s demonstration shows how she creates a drawing of a white sheet tacked on her studio wall.
This course was originally published as a step-by-step drawing lesson in The Artist’s Magazine and is now available in video format. The lessons show step-by-step how to copy a Leonardo da Vinci drapery study, as well as how to study the folds from life.
