I've never done the "bust drawing" exercise, but I understand it's an essential part of classical art training. I envy you your current educational opportunities; when I went to art school in the early 70's it was a "do your own thing" era and I didn't learn much at all.
I enjoy your small paintings too. You have a nice style.
Really fine drawing! Great values and I love the way you split the canvas with dark and light. Appropriately dramatic for such a classic piece!
Congrats on the sale!
Hi Layne! thanks! Your art shows wonderful prep! Must be mostly caught then, as most of us do! Gwen, thanks! The dark and light areas of the background are where they are so as to help create a clear reading of the outline of the head, making the lightest part of the head against the darkest background and vise versa.... :)
