1 sittingDay 22Graphite economy & fog-grey wash on warm white

A single sitting, and nothing rushed about it. One medium all day: graphite economy & fog-grey wash on warm white. Nothing needed hatching until the third sheet, and then only where the structure asked. The hand kept to the sable brush, graphite and the stump. Nothing to correct, which is not the same as nothing to learn.

How much can the stump take back before a line is missed?

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.
