Hi!

This is a self portrait I did an evening to try out the ground on which it is drawn. Done with charcoal and pearlish white pastel. The ground is a framed 90 x 90 cm foam board "dressed" with linen.

At some point in the early stages of the drawing, or maybe even before I got started, I saw a resemblance in my expression with Vermeers "Girl with pearl earring". But in the end and after looking at Vermeers painting they are not much alike.

Anyways, here goes...
