Utilizing knowledge acquired in the lectures on shadow anatomy and on drapery folds, complete a drawing of a plaster cast drapery. You are expected to have a complete scheme, an accurate envelope, and a high degree of finish (of lights and darks). The finish created is expected to include details to produce the look of plaster. 

Tip: A drapery plaster cast can be created by dipping a piece of fabric into plaster, shaping it in into the desired fold, and pinning it to a board.  Once dry, the folds will retain their shape, allowing you an easier time relocating the still life setup as needed.  If you don’t need to relocate your setup, producing a drawing from a (white) fabric fold (that is not covered in plaster) is encouraged.  Attempt to produce as much detail and texture from the character of the fabric/plaster as possible in the final rendering stage.

We recommend repeating the assignment as many times as needed to achieve mastery before moving on to the next assignment.
