This lesson we we take a close look at the forms inherent in the spiral fold, and how they are effected by the underlying form of the cylinder.

This lesson focuses on the relatively complex form of the inert fold.

This lesson will demonstrate the straight forward form and simple functionality of the pipe fold.

In this lesson we will continue our study of the seven key folds with the zigzag fold.

In this lesson we will explore the form and functionality of the first of the 7 key folds, the diaper fold.

This lesson will go over a slightly different style of master than the previous master study. Watch as Jeff navigates a more linear drawing.

Still in the domain of quick sketch is the quick master study. This lesson will go over demonstrating lay-ins of master studies. Watch Jeff as he walks you through step by step this essential training tool.

In this exercise Jeff explains the most powerful measuring and navigational system he has come across: the Reilly Abstraction. Get ready, this is a great one.

This lesson demonstrates how to use the Reilly abstraction to construct and navigate a head in profile.

We finish up our study of the skull (in this phase) with the 3/4 pose.

Now that you have successfully started the Asaro painting from the front, follow along with Jeff as he works up the top layers to a beautiful finish.

This lesson is a combination of the last. We will be working on the back pose this time. The emphasis will be on modeling the back with this palette. This is a great preparation for working from photos, and ultimately from life. In that case the process will not change, you will simply have to contend with the atmosphere around a real object.
