Different results, both exquisite.  Check out his sketchbook live videos. Be prepared to learn from this man.

Check out the figure drawings of Mark Tennant. http://www.marktennantart.com/drawings_n.html If you look closely, you will see beautiful action gesture lines. Notice how the edges disappear. His drawings are painterly because he identifies bold shape patterns. Check out Jean Marcellino. Here are her roman staue drawings http://www.naje.com/rome/ And beautiful figures. Notice how she incorporates the background to describe the figure. http://www.barebrush.com/gallery.php?artwork_id=2309 John Singer Seargent He saw light so perfectly and depicted it so simply I will reference him forever He draws and paints to perfection Notice how simply he states details with blocks of value Sometimes what seems to be so detailed is the flick of the corner of a square brushhttp://www.johnsingersargent.org/ See you tomorrow morn at about 9:30!
