Choir Singer

15x11 mixed media portrait on Strathmore for mixed media finished today, no one in particular, just a face using the ideas generated from #Sktchy instructor Margriet Aasman. First sketched in graphite, then using Daniel Smith permanent brown watercolor, put in the values. When dry, various ink pens from 01, 03, 05 were used along with Uniball 07. Lastly, white charcoal pencil was put in for the highlights on skin and long hair. This is more tan/brown than appears on the monitor. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith
