Description
it was a rainy day in his apartment in Rittenhouse square and he just sat and read a book while I sketched with watercolor. I used a lot of water and enjoyed how it flowed.I need to find more people to sketch..
quote I wrote on the back reads:
"The gates of hell are open night and day;
Smooth the descent, and easy is the way,
But to return and view the cheerful skies,
In this the task and mighty labour lies"
-Virgil

There's something about his neck and chin area--the way you've handled it--that really gets me but I can't help but feel like something's missing--but then that could contribute to the "feel"...

the feel for me: is a kind of illustration of how I was feeling sitting comfortable on a couch with the rain falling down next to me and the waterfall in the courtyard.
The bottom part is a direct contrast to the top of him which is full of bold lines and concrete color splashes.
I really enjoyed making this in the way I did..
I'm guessing that the reason that you probably feel that something is missing are the gouache blue that I put on the back of his neck.
I'm a fan of color splashes but I suppose that I'm not skilled enough to be able to really really think about my composition before I use them... hmm

nah--i don't think it's the color splashes--those are some of my favorite parts. P:
