Soutine sketches



Some very fast biro sketches to get to grip with the shapes of the piece











This is an uncompleted version of the cows head I was working on - it didn't work very well as I couldn't fit it all on! Nevertheless it was useful to practise the head and get really confident with the detail.








Charcoal version of the cow, I used these to reference from the black and white photocopies as I thought it would be useful to build the tone up. I quite like the finished charcoal piece anyway and am intrigued by a possible pastel version.
