Or for that matter when a drawing end and a watercolor painting begins. <br /><br />For this one, I did the initial lay-in drawing in a russet water-soluble colored pencil, which you can see around the edges. The figure is about 5 or 6 inches tall. The skin tones on the face are done with a brush that was already filled with that light red-brown color, kind of a shorthand for a skin tone.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-67479803808620289472011-11-04T15:29:30.952-04:002011-11-04T15:29:30.952-04:00Another stellar sketch.

It's as much a work of bona fide fine art as an easel painting, except for the size...but I feel that way about any good "sketch", particularly the ones you share with us.<br /><br />Was there much pencil drawing under the color to establish the forms? I see some angular marks near the shoulders, but not much else.Tom Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770238579550226268noreply@blogger.com
