Sanguine, a traditional drawing medium favored by Renaissance masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, is known for its rich, earthy red tones. The technique uses red chalk or iron oxide pigments to create soft, subtle shading and vibrant contours, making it ideal for anatomical studies. The precision and mastery evident in these drawings are testament to the timeless appeal of this artistic technique.
