Sometimes it’s fun to go back to basics. Recently I was presented with a choice of images to draw in a workshop. Though I worked with a few of the images, the one that captivated me most was a portrait of the lovely Clara Bow. I have always loved to make full tonal drawings in charcoal but I wanted to challenge myself so I decided to try two different things: one in pencil and one in watercolor. For the pencil one, the challenge was to not overdue it; basically, I was going for economy of line/information. For the watercolor, the challenge was simply using the watercolor. Also, I realized that in the pencil one, her gaze was forward whereas in the image I was using it was looking up so I corrected that in the watercolor. The pencil drawing (left) is larger than the watercolor (right).

Both are great. I’m partial to the pencil one. You certainly captured her. I like the idea these two images are her talking to herself.

I don’t think I ever saw her before this image was presented to me. Not a bad idea, talking to herself that is.
