Didn't know about the black one.

I have found that being willing to experiment a bit with my surfaces has made the fluidity much easier, and glad to know it is coming across this way. <br /><br />While working on Amira's portrait I also found an old Stabilo pencil in my art supplies I had not used for years that says on it's side it is for "paper, glass, plastic, metal", and it is different from a normal pencil in that it makes a very dark 'dark' for graphite. This worked out well on Amira's hair and pupils of the eyes.Mona Diane Connerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022399915344870046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664324880629960678.post-39254724048883371722009-05-12T15:12:00.000-07:002009-05-12T15:12:00.000-07:00The thing I love about your work, is how you use s...The thing I love about your work, is how you use such smooth substrates, your pieces all look so "fluid" if that makes sense. Amira is amazing, and Terry is probably amazed at how beautiful you are painting her!Debra Keircehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391213568280558242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664324880629960678.post-81038419284933986452009-05-11T23:11:00.000-07:002009-05-11T23:11:00.000-07:00Thanks Sheila!Thanks Sheila!Mona Diane Connerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022399915344870046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664324880629960678.post-5330329882518670772009-05-11T22:20:00.000-07:002009-05-11T22:20:00.000-07:00You're little sketch is amazing!

To answer your questions, ...Thanks Vern and Liz. <br /><br />To answer your questions, yes, I am a lefty. This was my first time trying pencil on polymin. It doesn't rub off easily, so I don't see a particular need for a seal, and it would go under glass in a frame anyway.Mona Diane Connerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022399915344870046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664324880629960678.post-46710695357588863812009-05-11T07:58:00.000-07:002009-05-11T07:58:00.000-07:00beautiful drawing on the miniature.
