The master class is a video tutorial with detailed comments by the artist. We will work according to the reference selected by German. This is a photo of a model facing the light. The contrasted figure is a distinctive feature of German Arasil's paintings. The contour gives great opportunities for working with chiaroscuro. A similar technique in the visual arts allows you to convey the clarity of the contours of the figure, and the play of light and shade gives the image a special drama and mystery.
