Head studies in pencil

[Christy Talbott]

Thanks so much for looking and commenting kindly Alexandra, Marina and Tom. Here's a couple others to add to the group. I'm providing links, because you can see them better that way.

The second one was done on printing paper, because I had to match the color paper to the paper I'd used for his brother's portrait a couple years ago. It's a little difficult to work on.

Couldn't agree more. These are beautiful, exceptional drawings. They really don't get much better than this.

PS: I was in Richmond for 6 years, VCU alum. (painting and printmaking). Did you attend?

[Christy Talbott]

Thank you David and Enzie!

No, I did not attend VCU, though I wish that I had. My new studio happens to be just a short walk from the campus.
