It's important to have an amiable relationship to get good results. Henry was the best. Drawing conditions weren't. The sketch is just a first pass, but thank you Helen.

I bought this neat General charcoal set and Henry grew out of the first marks. My hand was heavy on this sketch and my knead was in need of kneading. Also, the paper was wrong, drawing paper. Aside from that. Henry did come out okay. My thirty minutes with the lamp went by in a flash. I liked the set and will put it in my beach bag. It was a good session.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153983949078742556.post-79968314220991861472014-11-22T22:21:10.117-05:002014-11-22T22:21:10.117-05:00Catching up--you have been busy.

The likeness must be right on if it's a commission. This painting wouldn't be. This subject is a universal one about a father's love for his daughter.
