Prud'hon copy 3

Fairly satisified with this - it's about 25 X 30 cm took 4/5 hours and is on the paper recomended by Rebecca Alsofon - overkill for my level. Did it teach me anything? Dunno, it's a fairly specific technique - 2 colour chalk (pastel pencils). Could have done better in the face. The background lines (squiggles) maybe add 'atmosphere'....

  1. Thanks, Patti. I'd better try and do some originals soon - or I'll become a copyist only! I've seen a landscape I want to draw 'plein air' - 2 scenes from one spot just behind the Monastère de Solan (orthodox sisters) - see Google maps + photos to see this (my) area. Jon
