Combining Styles


I'm still trying to integrate my own linear and expressive way of working into the Maughan technique of blocking in and working tonally.
Here is the latest drawing, pastel pencil on acrylic primed watercolour paper.
I mixed a mid grey colour for the midtone and then started blocking in areas of shadow, then added highlights. The pencil was a little scratchy and didn't cover too well so I think a charcoal pencil or willow will work better next time, might even invest in some white soft pastels!!
