This piece used such an interesting

(and new to me) process! 

I worked it in my journal on watercolor paper, 

not on a canvas, 

and I only had one mop brush, 

so had to wait for it to dry numerous times, 

and the process degraded the paper quickly. 

I couldn't force myself to cover her with a yellow wash, 

so left her as is since I really love the aqua/pink background! 

Thanks so much for a great tutorial, Aprell Kirk!

#loomismethod #practicingsketchingportraits 

#joekenda #HomicideHunter

I'm still practicing the Loomis method 

to try and learn how 

to sketch realistic faces. 

I know my sketches look nothing 

like the reference photos, 

but I'm learning something new with each attempt. 

Thought I'd try sketching my favorite cop/detective...
