1 sittingDay 11Graphite economy & fog-grey wash on warm white

The trouble is not the line. The trouble is how early I decide on it. The standing question is washes laid once and left alone, and it did not move today. When the greys sit this near each other the head can go flat in one wash, and a flat head is a diagram. A single sitting, and a long look before it. I did not solve it. I noted where it went wrong and kept the sheet.

When the values sit this close, where does the likeness live?

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.
