 I really enjoy establishing various surface planes and modeling form with layers upon layers of color pencils and chalk

Translating the greyscale modeling factors I am currently studying to modeling with cold and warm colors, I learn a lot from exploring the abrupt color contrast created by a hard edge, as well as the soft transition of a rounded form - achieving an ever smoother transition through the use of white chalk.
