From the studio.

Another day of Bayeux work, then on to the portraits, I’m doing three different genres at once, and I want to get them completed so that I can create another cheesecloth portrait. I drew this on very fine Indian fabric. It’s so fine, you can see through it. I used prisma pencils because they are…
