Watercolour and sepia chalk
25 x 30 cm
2004

This quick sketch was completed on the spot in half an hour while May Liss was sitting for a much longer acrylic painting by another artist.

Sepia chalk cannot easily be erased and is indelible although it will run and intensify when water or paint is applied over it.  This makes it an excellent medium for rapid sketching as it concentrates the mind and makes it impossible to be hesitant or uncertain!
