Misty Morning Cast

Some sketches are the first step before a painting. With some sketches I decide the sketch is more powerful left as a sketch. That is the case with this one. Using the CARAN d ACHE technalo graphite I was able to give the sketch a light wash to add some flow and a sense of a misty morning. This graphite is a lot of fun. I am considering adding a natural pastel base to this one but will most likely leave it as it is.
