I usually post my knitting here, but today I would like to post some
art work. I had a commission from a dear friend and today I finished
it. Sadly, the dog passed away, but I hope that her husband likes the
surprise. I used different pencils from H to 9B and I love the
result. Drawing is still one of my favorite forms of artistic
expression. The simplicity of the materials is ideal! It was also
nice to do a larger work. This piece is on 18" x 24" drawing paper.
Storage of art can be a challenge, so commissions are a great way to
work.

| I adjusted the contrast of the bandanna, and then made a grid on tracing paper, sketched the portrait, and then using my window as a light table, finished the portrait on the drawing paper (moving to the large easel after getting the subject blocked in. |

Deborah, I am so impressed, usually by your knitting, but now by your art also. That is a beautiful portrait, a great commission. Thinking of you all in the USA today. Big hugs, Margie.
