Sketchbook for the week

Sketchbook images for the week....yes some may be scary.

We are working on faces and portraits.

Here is my ear... exciting yes...


My mouth and eye..
Portrait of a Woman
Mary Cassatt, 1872Oil on canvas,
This portrait of an unnamed peasant woman reveals that Cassatt's talent and sensitivity were well expressed quite early in her career. ..It did not photograph well but you get the idea of it.


Self Portrait by Gwen John, Welsh artist.
Early 1900s

I had a TON of problems with her nose and it is hard to see in the portrait but her nose did look very similar to this, even though it killed me to draw it like this....I am suppose to draw what I see....better luck next time.
