Thomasin, Allan and Alex,
Thank you. Allan, I happy that you think the drawing looks effortless because in truth is is layers and layers of graphite, slowly built up. I am really itching to paint because I believe my drawings are getting closer to what painting a portrait is like. I push and pull allot to get the form I like. This piece was difficult because the client wanted little contrast on her face, which is not what I prefer. But we all know the customer is always right!
