The Cellist

5"X7" Pencil on paper

I thought it was time to do some more figure studies and I haven't drawn my kids for a while. I love drawing them when they are playing, their instruments are so beautiful and the intense concentration with which they play is very appealing. Drawing and painting people from photographs is actually very hard, I try to do it only when I am painting people I know very well. Even then it is easy ro allow distortions to creep in.
