1 sittingDay 55Graphite economy & fog-grey wash on warm white

A likeness held in close values has almost nowhere to hide. Letting the warm paper be the light, still, and the sheets keep circling it. Every contour I lengthen takes work away from the hatching, and every hatch I allow admits the contour was not enough. The one sheet took the whole morning. Unfinished business, and the sheets are the record of it.

Can two thin washes hold a head that hatching barely touched?

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.
