Graphite And Gesso On Paper
16.5 x 11.75

I'm trying out a new way of creating my drawings using gesso to free them up a bit. I have been inspired in this by the work of an artist called Derek Jones who seems to be a master of mixed media. Hopefully this will give them a bit more life and allow me to add some more abstract elements. Anyway this is a portrait of my sister.

     It's been a long time since I made a monotone painting. I used to do them as quick practice pieces but have not done so for a while. So I thought it was time to make one and I had the perfect subject in mind. Painting this reminded me how much more I love colour.
