I got a new journal and I don't know what possessed me to try out my new Shiva oil sticks on the first page, but I just thought it was time. This was a little picture on a pocket calender I received in the mail and I thought I would try a study of it. I soon realized I was way over my head with hands and face tones but it certainly was great practice. Now I know why the oil painters get the big bucks. IT'S HARD. But you should shake yourself up every now and then. Don't you think?
I'm so happy to have a small moleskin again. Maybe this Angel Muse will help me along as I fill up the pages.
