Do you know this Old Masters name?
Man on the cross, charcoal on umbria paper, 49cm x 70cm
I am posting this here even though it mite be considered as a work in progress. I will not mention the artists name just in case someone would care to attempt to name the Maestro.
The reason I post this is to give an idea of the procedure used by the old masters. Keep in mind Not All the masters used this method but for me it is a learning tool to understand their thinking while they made ready for a painting.
The drawing I am working from is A4 in size and I am using the comparative method of measuring for the grater proportions and the rest of the measuring is done by eye . The initial sketch was done on canson and then transferred to the umbria.
Share with me what you think and all comments and questions are welcome.
