I love it!

I appreciate your compliments. As far as testing this out with clients, no I haven't and perhaps I should. I am only recently adding charcoal to my drawings after Marvin came to Atlanta and gave a workshop in drawing portraits. I do like incorporating the boldness of the charcoal to the softness of graphite, this is very new to me.

Thanks Debra, it is fun to be back and I hope I will have some time to participate.

STUNNING! Patricia, this is an exceptional drawing. Masterful. You should be very proud. The only problem I see for you is that from now on, we will expect this level of mastery in everything you post!

This drawing is terrific!

Patricia, this is just lovely and unconcerned.
A delightful work

I love it too!

I agree. I love good drawings. This is really extraordinary well done.

I truly appreciate the compliments along with the support. As I am learning to paint in oils (it is taking me a loooong time!) I have come to believe in the true beauty and authenticity of drawings in their own right. I believe there is a decent market out there for drawings, not just because the price is lower than oils, but, I hope, because people are seeing the beauty in this medium.

Patty,

Like I told you in person, I can now say here on the forum - this is beautiful. Glad you finally are showing it off....Your progression to mastery has been phenomenal!

Thank you!
