My tutor recommended in his report for my assignment 3, that I include more mainstream artists to augment what is there. As an example he suggested I include some examples of chiaroscuro, particularly those of Rembrandt. The drawings by Claire Spencer are also good examples of this technique, as are those below, by Leonardo and Rembrandt.
