An excellent and beautiful result Cesare.

An excellent portrait Cesare , you sitter looks like she she in deep thought and most importantly there is life in those eyes .

Extremely good!

As Marjorie said excellent Cesare. Never use liquid charcoal myself. Endless amount of mediums to use these days.

Excellent work Cesare.

Thank you all for your generous comments!

One of your best in my opinion. A super drawing.

Impressive work Cesare.

That's good - you're getting much better over time, if I can say so without patronizing you; liquid charcoal isn't particularly easy to use for portraiture ( there are some highly advanced practitioners, of course) but it's worked very well for you here.

I commented on your pencil version Cesare, didn’t see this then. Also really good.

Thank you Lewis, Diane, Robert and Tessa for your generous comments.

Hi Robert, I thank you for your appreciation. I find that liquid charcoal is not so difficult for portraits; it frees you from the colour problem and allows you to do many shades of gray. The next portrait with liquid charcoal will be my self-portrait.

This is an excellent portrait cesare. Liquid charcoal is something ive never used myself though I thought about it just the other day.

Thank you Michael. I'm starting to like liquid charcoal a lot.

Nice work Cesare.

A superb result!

Thank you Shaun and David for your kind comments.

Thanks so much, Fiona.
