| Portrait of Emily © E Smyth 2004 |
Medium: graphite pencil
| Artist's Statement: 'THIS IS MY MOST RECENT DRAWING, A SKETCH OF MY YOUNGEST GRAND-DAUGHTER AGED TWO YEARS OLD. I DID THIS IN ABOUT TWO HOURS AND WAS QUITE PLEASED WITH IT. I CONSTANTLY FROM DAY TO DAY READ THE ARTICLES ON YOUR WEBSITE OF WHICH I AM NOW A SUBSCRIBER.' |
| Guide Comment: I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the newsletter, Eddie. This is a lovely portrait - an excellent example of how strong darks, even black, can be used to good effect. I'm not sure I'd have the nerve to use such dark values on a baby's face but it works brilliantly! Thanks so much for sharing this drawing with us. |
