Hi Valerie,

Prud'hon was actually a 19th century French artist whom (I believe) invented the technique.

Here's a link with more info: http://www.art.net/~rebecca/OnPrudon1.html.

Do you feel as if you gained greater understanding about portraiture after the day was done?
Absolutely. I aquired a better understanding of lighting and the subtle value changes across the face, not to mention the unique profile view to work from. The class was a great experience.

BTW, Chris was kind enough to offer to digitally re-photograph the drawing for me. Hopefully the image will be higher quality, and I'll repost.

Regards,
