Independent Study with Tim Harney!

Spending the semester working on a body of work for my life drawing teacher Tim. For the project, I'm exploring new ways to bend my media (charcoals, pastels) as I draw myself, friends and family. So far I've pulled out two portraits. The first is an attempt to bring everything up to a good deal of finish, the second is more raw and loose.

  4. you should totally try for that orange look. go for tinted paper and brown ink/paint.

    or you could do what i do and just put a layer of one gouache colour over gessoed paper, and pull up highlights with water.

  5. I never thought of that but it really would work, I like the grain that gouache leave on paper anyways.
