The fine art of portraits and figures...
I'm currently working in charcoal, pencil and colored pencil. This blog is updated regularly with works in progress, and general updates relating to my art work. On occasion I will post articles about art history or other art related topics and a few pieces of my photography.

"Dancing in the Dark"
I'm still not 100% happy with this photo, I think the lighting is uneven and it shows every flaw in the right side of the shirt. I may try to retake the photo again, when I take it outside to spray the fixative. Usually the just using indirect light from the windows works out well but after several attempts this is what I got and I'm still not completely happy. I'm also trying not to look too closely at it because I'm seeing a bunch that I think I should fix. I do this with every piece though and there is always a time when i just need to walk away.

Hi Jessica,
You did an awesome work.
It has good dynamics and a pleasant chiaroscuro.
Kind regards,
José
