EDiM 4th and 5th









These seemed better by the softer light of last evening. Yes, even though I could see the distortions (the too small ear on the attentive one, the imbalances of the grinner with the matted hair) they WERE better by candlelight, trust me. LOL. I need to try them both again but that's ok, they're both fun sketches. Persevere.

Oh yeah. How DO I get a rich lively black again?

Hey SeeSue, found your comment on Horse Drawing on Cumberland Lifers; you can email Pauline's contact address on the post to see if another session is being planned. If there is, I will post the info on the lifer's blog anyway. If you to life draw occasionally email me and I'll put you on the mailing list.

Nice Blog! Cheers,

Wonderful twinkle in the eyes. You are a portrait painter. Hmmm - dazzling blacks try this recipe - mix cobalt blue, veridian, rose madder, transparent brown oxide and add a dash of aureolin. Don't paint the mix onto your paper. Use the tip of the brush and let the color just flow onto your area. Do not wipe. Just let it dry.
