One of my favorite drawings by Charles Lebrun. This was done using Prismacolor terra cotta Verithin pencil on Daler Rowney Ingres buff paper sized with amber shellac (1 part shellac to 5 parts denatured alcohol).

About Me
- Brandy Agun
- I'm an art student enrolled in the Georgetown Atelier studying under instructor Tenaya Sims. I'm deeply interested in art and love to draw and paint. I'm particularly fond of figurative works as I find human nature endearing, complex, tender and tragic. To capture people physically is a feat in itself, but to really depict the emotional qualities and personality of people is a true accomplishment. I hope to one day be fluent in this language.
Hello Charles
ReplyDeleteI've been through your blog that I found very interesting and professional. I would have a question about the paper preparation with Shellac you used in some of your drawings. Maybe a stupid question, but I don't understand how you can erase the wash just to create highlights as you mentioned. It is supposed to be done during the drawing process, therefore with shellac varnish that is not easy to remove...
Thanks for your answer
