A3 charcoal. A sculpture in the Uffizi showing a slave sharpening a blade ready for the flaying of a satyr... the Greeks and Romans were bloodthirsty! This started out as a simple, detailed drawing but it looked dead. So I added some lighting to improve the story.

Started on Bob Ross. Great fun, fast and confidence building. Progressed to Mark Carder oils. The first time I could paint what saw. Now doing watercolour due to time restrictions. Sloooow progress.
