The places where light and shadows meet...

Understanding how light travels across a form requires careful analyses of how the form turns away from the light source. The artist traces the tiny transitions of shade from shadow to the light, turning the form on the paper as it turns three dimensionally. Gradually adding the adjacent tones step by step, as an ant would travel the hills and valleys of a human form. Fight the urge to skip around the page, and stay as long as needed in a given area.
