Head Study #2

For a long time I've wanted to do a John Singer Sargent like charcoal portrait drawing, which he called a "mug".  But charcoal makes a chalk board like scratchy noise to the extent that I never made a complete charcoal drawing.  When I learned that watercolor is liftable (erasable) I saw a similarity of watercolor to charcoal.  So here is a copy of a Sargent mug.  I shall be attempting dozens more over the next few months.
