Detailed Description

Chalk drawing, or sfumato, is a technique characterized by soft, blurred edges. It is often used to create the illusion of depth or three-dimensionality. Chalk drawing is achieved by blending colors together using a dry brush or by applying layers of color over one another. The term “chalk drawing” can refer to either a drawing made with chalk, or a drawing made using the sfumato technique. The word “chalk” comes from the Italian word gesso, which means “plaster.” The word “sfumato” comes from the Italian word for “smoke.” The most famous examples of chalk drawing are found in the work of Leonardo da Vinci. In his painting the Mona Lisa, da Vinci used sfumato to create a soft, naturalistic effect. He also used the technique in his painting of the Last Supper. Other notable examples of chalk drawing include the work of Michelangelo, Raphael, and Rembrandt.
