I did this little sketch on 10 x 8" Strathmore 403 paper. I'll consider it finished, especially since the model loved it and will probably buy it. Although this was mostly vine charcoal, I had forgotten how nice it is to have nice sharp charcoal pencils - in this case General's Primo and the Ritmo brand pencil I used many years ago. I wasn't able to find Ritmo for such a long time, but it's back and as good as ever. But I think my favorite now is the Primo - really deep blacks and a smooth application - very nice charcoal pencil. Thanks so much for visiting!

Excellent portrait Connie and no surprise that the model would buy it! I've never worked with charcoal but would like to someday.... When I sketch for a portrait I always start with my pastel pencils....
