Introspection
Conte on paper. A soft, delicate rendering of my new model who exemplifies femininity. (I thought I had already put this on, but just goes to show I am getting absent minded!)

Thanks for your kind comment, I really appreciate such support for something I was lucky enough to be born with. It helps I had a great model for this one.

Conte, is a superb medium for rendering the softness of a female face, the model has the same inner beauty as outward which helps considerably.

Thanks to everyone who has commented so kindly about this piece and others. I am quite behind in my replys and comments as I have just come through open heart surgery after a year of serious illness which has diminished everything including my work recently. ...its so good to be back !! :-)

Absolutely so Skinny, just as in good watercolour painting, it is what is left out that makes the composition work. Its taken me a long time to learn this, but it pays dividends, thanks for the nice comment.
