Mark,

Drapery painting is just like painting other relatively smooth forms. Look for and identify highlight, light, shadow edge, shadow, cast shadow.

Keep your eye on the major value masses and their relationships to each other.

Here is a wonderful work by the great Claudio Bravo that perfectly illustrates what to look for in drapery painting.

Remember, drawing and painting is all about seeing clearly.

Bill
