We started off the class with the shading of the elephant. This week is about getting used to shade in the invisble and subtle way. I call it the ''stroking'' of the elephant.
My teacher sam helped me with some of the strokes on the chin and near the tusk, watching her in action closely helped me understand the shading process.
Here are some of the progress that I have made.
The hind legs are from the week before, the shading is not so subtle
The front legs from this week are more subtle, I think I am starting to grasp a bit more about the colours and the brush strokes needed to achieve the invisible shading.
