Head Study #147

Tonight I present another one of those monochrome John Singer Sargent charcoal drawings of Tamara Karsavina, 1914.  She was a Russian prima ballerina who later moved to the UK.

Paper: Arches, 140 lb, cold press, 15 x 22"

Paint: Home made PB82 Maya Blue Dark

Yep, I made the paint myself.  Mulled it and everything.  But I think I put in too much Ox Gall, so I'll make another batch.
