Anna Marie Portrait

Anna Maria Sketch Anna Maria Sketch

I have started work on a new portrait and have done a rough line drawing of the head first with pencil. Then using Faber Castell Pitt Artist Pen (waterproof Indian Ink) I traced over all lines and erased my pencil marks.

Having

posterized my reference photo, I have also indicated where my lights, mid tones and darks are going to be to assist in getting the wash in done as fast as possible.

Using Old Holland- Raw Umber mixed with medium the wash in was placed right over the drawing. The wash-in helps to get the form on the canvas quickly. Since the paint is very diluted, it is easily maneuverable and details such as in the choker can be quickly placed.
