Untitled study by Michael LeKites


Finished. I could work a lot further on the straw hat but it's just a study. No point spending more time on it than I have. I've learned what I've learned from it so it's served it's purpose. Time to move on to the next thing. I am excited about a few techniques and tools I've developed while working on this. Mechanical pencil, various artist pencils, acrylic white, pastel on smooth Bristol. 12x15.

Looks great! I am a big fan of studies, both as a practice, and to view them too.

This is wonderful. There is so much individuality and strong feeling in her expression.
