I've decided to work from life for a while because I feel that working strictly from photographs has gotten stale for me. I have perfectionistic tendencies that I need to get over and I think that working from photos perpetuates that proclivity. This drawing was meant to just be a quick sketch. I even used the back of a used sheet of newsprint. Couldn't stop. I decided that when the pencil was all used up, the drawing is finished. How do you get a pencil like that out of a holder? Pliers.

Onlooker from the Fortune Teller by Georges De La Tour
I love copying the old masters and happened to come across this painting the other day, at this address: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436838

The Godfather
Whenever I get interrupted in my work flow I gravitate to black in white to get grounded again and regain my confidence. I plan on doing a series of black and white paintings from old movies. This is number 1.
