I have been carrying the same question for a week now, which is either patience or stubbornness. On the second sheet the contour ran from temple to jaw without lifting, and it was the truest line of the day. On the fourth I lifted three times and the head still stood. I will take the answer and be suspicious of it later.

Does the ochre whisper earn its place, or would the warm paper do?

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.
