I'm having a break from watercolour and working on a pencil drawing - a portrait. I've included the outline here to demonstrate a before and after effect. I used a photo that was enlarged by lovely Roy to A4 size then I used tracing down paper to trace it onto paper - many artists do this, although purist's probably think this isn't real art; if Hockney can do it then so can I, why make things difficult for yourself! I found the picture on Google Images and contacted the owner by email asking for permission to use it, to date they haven't come back to me so I decided to go ahead anyway. If they say no I'll have to remove it from this website.
