The Bargue Way
"The Bargue Way"
I have titled thus because of my deep appreciation of his artistic and teaching abilities
It takes a lot of studies and practical application before one can acheave the mastery of Charles Bargue. I on the other hand am but a student and drawings and paintings left to us by Bargue are my teachers.

Jesse C. Draper, a member of this forum, was kind and allowed me to use one of his photos.
I was inspired by the mood of the pose, the genteelness of the models expression and the subtle value changes offered by the cloth. The photo of the finished drawing does not fully reveal the nuances in value change, representing the texture of the cloth, but I hope you can appreciate the drawing for what it is.
Thank you for looking and for your comments.
