pencil on paper, 2011
To prepare for the Red Riding Hood painting, I did this drawing. I am always telling my students the importance of preparatory work. Some artists love the challenge of spontaneous creation. I, on the other hand, like to solve the various problems of image making by dividing and conquering. This sketch allowed me to make decisions on everything from composition to value as well as character development and setting. The drawing is about 7 1/2" X 9 1/4".
