Fine Arts by Dave Ettridge
It is for the artist... in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features."~ James Whistler 1843 - 1903
"Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do."~Edgar Degas 1843 - 1917

Dear Dave,
I heard my sudden intake of breath as I came upon this glorious drawing of Diana Washington!!! I really don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do:)
Your friend,
Valerie
Valerie, this was only my second attempt at this style of portrait. I love the skin textures and tones that this techniique achieves. I'll include a post in the future of how this was done. Thanks again for your comments.
