This portrait, which was created with diluted black acrylic paint and brush, demonstrates a sureness of touch that comes with
years of experience. The darks in the drawing were created mostly with vertical brush strokes using various opacities of paint,
and varied in tone by the strength or delicacy of the touch of the brush.
There is a dramatic quality of light created by the use of dark shadows and a dark background, with very light lights that
mostly come from the white of the paper.
