WK 5: Portrait Painting with Sean Cheetham
 |
| Had a really sweet model named Julie this week who was also an actress/ artist. Tried to capture a sweet, colorful side to her. Technique wise - worked on halftones. Treating forms like topography. |

ReplyDeleteHey nice post! This thumbs are focusend in the simple statement? (treat forms as simple light, halftone, shadow).
ReplyDeleteCan you talk more about the Technique that Sean uses to work on halftones "Treating forms like topography.". Thanks.
Yeah ok sure. So this is a topographical map. http://mail.colonial.net/~hkaiter/imagextras/topographic-map.jpg
