Sketch of a Man's Head With a Long Neck

New silverpoint sketch:


Sketch of a Man's Head With a Long Neck, 2009, silverpoint on prepared card, 11" x 8.5".

Although I like the faint, almost ghostly qualities of silverpoint, I discoved today that if I use liver of sulphur, the lines will tarnish to dark brown & perhaps even black. I shall have to try it.
