Charcoal study

Lovely expression. Very nice result.

Great result Marjorie.

I so admire how you manage to fade out part of the portrait so successfully Marjorie.

That is so good, Marjorie!!

Collette, Denise, Carole and David - thank you for your comments!

Lovely artwork Marjorie 🙂

Fabulous Marjorie, this is SO good!

This is a really good portrait - I especially like the white highlights.

Superb.

Excellent, and I like how you’ve handled the limited background. Do I detect a hint of resignation!?

Resignation…..not really but it is hard to get someone to sit for an appreciable time. Thanks Tessa, Stephen, Heather, Bobbie and Chris.

Lovely portrait

A great sketch.

Great portrait Marjorie, charcoal works so well on this paper.

Lovely Marjorie.

Strathmore is a favourite so far…must get some white! Thank you Petra, Lewis, Russell and Christine for commenting.

A superb portrait.

Great job Marjorie!

Another stunning picture, Marjorie!

I commented on the fine work Marjorie, but seems it I forgot to click Add Comment. Sorry.

I do like your portraits Marjorie

Ha ha, I do that from time to time Jim and wonder what happened. Thanks! Thanks also, Spencer, Romila, Peter and Sylvia.

Excellent study Marjorie

Beautifully drawn Marjorie

A marvelous charcoal portrait Marjorie, in particular the light highlighted areas and nice relaxed pose too!

Stunning work, Marjorie. Composition, tones and expression are all superbly done.

What a great sketch Marjorie.

So good Marjorie!

I think I must have done the same as Jim - getting old can be a BIT of a pain... Fine drawing, and I too like the fade-out. Do I recognize your husband here?

Thanks again for the comments everyone - yes, husband….he’ll not be able to walk down the street soon….
