 The Expressive Figure

Expressive Figure Assignment


Four Value Figure

Materials:

  • Sumi Brush
  • Taklon Synthetic Round
  • Da Vinci Casaneo Quill Mop
  • Chinese Calligraphy Brush
  • Hake Brush
  • Watercolor Paint/ Choice of: Light Red, Sepia, Brown Madder
  • Paper Towel/Sponge



Concept: Figure in Four Values. 

First Pass:
Block in the figure  On white ground paper and using the aqueous media ( watercolor of choice), mass the silhouette .  Imply the light source by creating slight progression of dark away from light. See Figure 1

Second Pass:
Using a darker value of watercolor ( watercolor of choice),block a strip along the shadow side of head and shoulder keeping in mind that the neck cylinder is casting a shadow across the shoulder.

Third Pass:
Using a paper towel or sponge, Wipe,(Wick) out the middle tone along the mostly vertical camber of light. Think of the highlight on a cylinder. The highlight is not a circle of light as on a sphere , but resembles a ribbon of light that moves along the vertical plane of light.



Draw at least three poses using the concept of the FOUR value Figure
