Partial transcription of the video
“What will we do in the course? In this course I'll show you how to do pastel chalk portraits, as it's the dry drawing technique that I think will help you to do a refined and realistic job in a short time. In your project you can use the same image as me, but I recommend using another one to stand out from the rest. First we'll see color theory, lights and shadows. Then, we'll do the base work of the project, we'll do the last details and to finish, we'll apply fixative. Now that you know what we'll do, in the next unit we'll start working.”
