N...Thank you for the very kind comment, Katherine.<br /><br />Newsprint? Let me enumerate just some random points @ this support.<br /><br />1.) Cheap.<br />2.) The rag has a hand that is very soft, and I use the abrasive aspects to produce soft effects. Also subtlety.<br />2.) When I use Rives BFK, it has a similar response, so the newsprint is good practice.<br />4.) You can get it big.<br />5.) Back to the hand: NP is a joy to erase, and the effects of erasure, and of using rags and stomps/tortillions are wonderful.<br /><br />Nupastel will be about the hardest tool you can use, so I'd be tempted to bring charcoal, too. See what the teacher says - I also really love chalk, Conte and graphite. I also use chamois clothes, Viva paper towels and tissues, paper stomps, erasers of all sorts, especially kneaded. Classical artists used bread, but I have yet to try that.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-86607648860550568912012-10-28T04:13:33.811-07:002012-10-28T04:13:33.811-07:00Your work is so good and so inspirational.

I've never worked on such a flimsy paper before, why is that the preferred paper for this type of drawing? Just curious how it's going to go...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600673251180423439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-17975076905899067652012-10-19T20:46:22.766-07:002012-10-19T20:46:22.766-07:00Thank you, Ruth.

One interesting thing @ the newsprint is the character of the paper is so fragile - it adds to the work in the end.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-54485604915808650162012-10-19T20:32:51.734-07:002012-10-19T20:32:51.734-07:00What a beauty.

I am mostly happy with some of these, and very happy with a few. <br /><br />Karin, thank you and no gesso. I ought to try that, though. <br /><br />Hi, Carol! Thanks and I think technique may have saved me a little here. <br /><br />Thank you, Celeste. I am reminded of your practice pieces that I love so much.

I keep wondering if I can get my drawing skills back to the level they were 20+ years ago at their peak. <br /><br />A nice little study, and certainly worthy of reposting. I especially like the way you handled her eyes.Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.com
