A project from my Heads and Hands class at the academy is to reconstruct a portrait study from a master artist. I chose Norman Rockwell, and am currently working at constructing the base layout and structure of the figure in vine charcoal. This step is done to begin the whole process. Vine charcoal can be erased or brushed away easily making it ideal for under-drawing construction. From this step I can make adjustments with no problem comparing this drawing to the model or in this case a blown up version of Norman's painting. This picture will be done in only charcoal and will serve to only be a value study of the original work.
