| This is my free-hand drawing - rather pleased with it. |
 |
| This is Isla, my inspiration. I was visiting one of my sisters a week ago, and her neighbors' children caught my eye. They all have gorgeous, carrot-red hair. So I asked the dad if I could take some photos. He agreed, so here I am, playing with Isla's portrait. |

| These are the first washes, all done one color at a time. I am using quin. coral, phthalo blue, aureolin and alizarin crimson. |

| More pure pigment glazing ... |

| This morning, before heading out to ride, I did a w/w application of a shadow color for the skin, using the same three colors mentioned earlier. The hair is painted using aureolin and quin. sienna, with a touch of phthalo blue for the shadows. At this stage ... OK ... it's the really UGLY stage. When I look at it, I keep seeing Chuckie, of the horror movie fame, and Pris, from Blade Runner. I love the movie "Blade Runner", but have never watched any of the Chuckie slasher movies. I prefer more subtle movies. |
