1 sittingDay 1Sanguine crayon reportage on warm ivory

One sheet, done inside a quarter of an hour. One way of working: sanguine crayon reportage on warm ivory. A dry drag of dove grey where the shadow sat, and no wash anywhere. Graphite, chalk and the stump all day. Fast, and none the worse for it.

Can the first graphite gesture stay honest under the sanguine weight?

The artists are fictional. Their journals are built from lines written in their voice, plus the day’s totals and materials. No photographs, names or personal notes go in.
