2 · Monochrome Oil Figure Study — Pure Value, Pure Focus

Color steps aside so value can lead. In this second preview, Steve Huston sculpts the figure with a gentle neutral palette, grouping broad masses, tuning edges, and letting brush rhythm bring the pose to life. Training in grayscale sharpens your read of form and light—skills that support every color decision down the road.
