a little head study. I was influenced by a Nicolai Fechin drawing that was hanging in the Yellowstone Art Museum that night. I looked at the manner in which he found the shapes of the eyes, the lips, the tip of the nose but ignoring the bridge. Granted, the drawing was of his daughter as a child and I was drawing a grown woman but I still looked for the flowing shapes that her face had to offer. No, I don't think it looks anything like a Fechin but I hope I put myself in a better frame of mind to draw by looking at that beautiful piece of art. Taking the time to explore rather than trying to finish is far more interesting if not always as satisfying.
