I write in the grisaille technique. Painting in one color. In my case, this is some of the shades of black (I do not remember the exact name) no white! Nikapolki. I'm used to and learned from the time of thin. schools ignore it, and now I'm doing fine)

The technique I'm drawing

The theme of today's lesson is "Grisaille Technique"

Now let's talk about the technique of "Grisaille".

What is grisaille?

In fine art, the term grisaille most often refers to the technique of monochrome painting, by means of which the painting or drawing is performed exclusively in shades of gray.  

Grisaille is a good way to cope with the tone

Grisaille helps novice artists understand and feel the relationship of tone and volume, without being distracted by the search for suitable colors. The technique of grisaille - most often performed in black and white or brownish white. This is a good way to deal with the tone in painting, when we work with a brush and paint, but without color, we translate the form into a spot, which, in fact, is a pictorial language. The practice of grisaille makes it possible to take a more meaningful approach to painting work, using in it everything that we know about working with tone and adding color to it.   

Grisaille is a monochrome canvas in gray tones in the range:

• from dark to light
• from contagious to not transparent
• from flat to volume
• from warm to cold
