Chuck Close


Since we are working with values and shading, I just had to post one of Chuck Close's pieces.  In my opinion he is a master at shading because he really studies where exactly the light is hitting his subject and exactly how much.  He uses shading well to show texture, as in his hair and mustache.  He also used a really white white in his glasses to show their shine.   Now I'm sure most of you have seen his work, but I recently started looking at it again since our last class and I think it will help me a lot with shading.
