Sketch for painting

Wow, this is a great sketch Linda.

You have captured such a lovely expression Linda.

Fab sketch Linda. Look forward to the painting.

A fine drawing Linda. That's very course paper, not easy to draw on.

Nice sketch Linda, great for establishing the tones and balance.

Like this Linda, look forward to seeing the painting

I thought this was acrylic paper - are you going to paint on top of the sketch? Like everyone, I’m looking forward to the painting and the colours you choose.

This is great Linda, I love the textured surface, a shame to paint over it IMHO

Beautifully done Linda.

I initially thought that I was going to paint over the drawing, but now there is too much graphite for any paint to take. So I will be starting again for the painting. Thank you all for making such positive comments. I will certainly post it when finished.

I really like the effect of the graphite on the acrylic paper Linda; a super portrait, well done. I'm also looking forward to seeing the painting.

Very expressive, with a ton of personality. Lovely work, Linda.

Many thanks Karen and Seok. Hopefully the painting will be a tad more accurate.

Lovely drawing Linda, look forward to seeing your painting.

Thank you Carole.
