Sketching and Drawing with Toned Paper - Part 3 - Stephen Cefalo

26 February 2018

Toned paper with black and white pencil brings a whole new dimension to drawing. Since the middle tones are already in Strathmore 400 Series Toned Sketch paper, it is possible to work in both light and dark tones, creating an instant sense of relief from the page. Integrating white pencil with black can be scary, but knowing the pitfalls to avoid can make it easier. With shared photo sources provided by the instructor, this class will lead students through essential toned paper techniques from the quick sketch to a fully realized drawing. Tonal drawings make excellent studies for paintings or stand alone as beautiful pieces. Practice these concepts in your toned paper sketchbook and you'll soon be ready to take on any subject with confidence!
