After Sargent Flora Priestly




Flora Priestly, after Sargent.

I do know that I did a very bad version of this back in 2007 - I have it in the sketchbook. But, apparently I never posted it. Trust me, this one isn't great, but it's better.

These portraits provide a good challenge:

  • getting the shapes right the first time, no drawing
  • practice fixing the shapes when they are wrong the first time
  • practice controlling hard and soft edges

These no drawing portraits are so well done. We are anxious to see how your own come out. Smile.
