Trying to be different

but failing. I wanted to try something different this Saturday by using a more sketchy style and transparent paint. First a couple of 5 minutes.





Then I started the long pose with sanguine pencil on primed paper. This is after 45 minutes.





Unfortunately I then tried to fix the drawing using acrylic medium which just spread the drawing around. So I ended up using opaque acrylic as usual. Another 3 hours.

Your long pose in the pencil I really like .... It seems being different can be just as hard as wanting to not be ... Nice drawing , maybe going straight in with paint mite be the go next time ....

Thanks Sandra. Yes paint would have been better.
