Young Lady in Red Hat

Sunday Sketches..
welcome..


 Young Lady in Red hat
A painted sketch in progress...




A face appears...

Here is how she began....

a young soul...



I felt drawn to use
my white charcoal pencil
  sketching
against  the deep swirls
of brown colors
on the canvas



she began to take form...




some soft fleshtones..shining through



more charcoal..sepias..browns....





Glowing skin..







She slowly comes to life..






she is coming along.....

hope to finish her soon


Till then...

Thankyou for visiting
Sunday Sketches
Visit other creatives...





The Dreaming Palette



I look forward to seeing what you are all up to..
Victoria

What a great technique! I have no experience with painting (or art!) so I am unfamiliar with the technique of painting with white charcoal against a darker background. I love how she came out though!
