Stuart



Stuart
8"x10", Pencil on Fabriano Artistico Paper
Copyright Laura Hardie 2011


Drawing time has been compromised slightly thanks to T in the Park – well the run up to it at least. A lot of running around with daughter to get last minute essentials and now looking forward to them all coming back, including child, caked in mud! She enjoys herself so that’s what counts and I will be reminding myself of this when I’m knee deep in muddy clothes and chiselling off caked mud from her wellies.

Stuart is officially finished - he has been approved so no changes to be made and I’ve refrained from tweaking. It’s now back to colour with a coloured pencil portrait and painting to do next.

Laura, Stuart looks so real I expect his nose to twitch and his eyebrows to move. Wonderful!
