This is a loose sketching exercise, where you use a dark notan for the base, then layer over subsequent layers of white to give the lighter values. You control the value of these grays, by controlling the amount of water you use in the white. They’re a lot of fun!
Very effective too. You achieve so much with black and white. Even the facial expression. Wonderful
Great study and would be a great painting too! Love your notan studies
Susan, this is exquisite! I just love your notan drawings. I had never hear of the notan before you introduced us to them. I guess it’s another trip to Jerry’s!
Very strong and effective, capturing the flow of material and expression on the face.
