I have drawn the figure from life and the plein air landscape for many years, working in multiple media (graphite, charcoal, reed pen, silverpoint, watercolor, pastel, oil palette
knife on shingles) and monotypes, usually creating work in a series.
Buttery, crisp - edged, neatly
shingled Hasselback potatoes look super-impressive
on the plate, but they're remarkably easy to pull off, no matter your
knife skills.
