Copying Bargue drawings.


Charles Bargue was an academic painter in the 19th century. Bargue produced over 200 plates that were used in ateliers to teach students about proportion, three dimensionality, and tone. An artist friend of mine suggested that I start working on making copies of these important drawings. I've been working on this Bargue plate for about 7 hours, I plan on working on it for at least 40. I'm going to try my hardest to produce it to perfection, but I will continue to do these and hopefully my improvement will be self evident.
