"My Sis Deb and Phoebe"

This was my first portrait that got me started in charcoal drawing of portraits. It's a very small picture but I wanted to see if could get a likeness of my sister. The dog, Phoebe, is just in a supporting role. It was quite a struggle but I definitely captured her likeness. When my sister saw it she bought it. That got me started in charcoal portraits. I don't do them this small. I do a standard size of 9 x 12 on Bristol vellum. I now have a skill in portraits. Next would be to try an oil portrait. Someday... Thanks for visiting!
