We sat with our guests to catch up on all our news. The long day and great meal caught up with our friend and he capitulated to an overwhelming need for a quick nap, which made him fair game for a sketch. I caught his tiredness in the tilt of his head and the relaxation of his face and this conveys a story. Splashes of color help define the planes of his face and suggest foliage behind him. The adjoining chair is distracting and if I were to redo the sketch I would not include it.
Deliberate Sketching 
I’m really liking everything coming out of the splashes of color gallery.

I enjoyed it too, Tara. It is a different way of thinking about painting for me. And quite a challenge to hold back my impulse to fill in all the areas of a sketch with color.
