I really wanted to make a painting today, but I just couldn't settle on a subject. Then I found this photo of a homeless man, and realized doing justice to him would be difficult in paint, but maybe more expressive with pencil. So here is another line-and-shadow rendering, with accents of white Carbothello pencil and Signo gel pen and some watercolor enhancement for the eyes, cheeks, and lips (and coat), on tan paper to help with the weathered look. 9x11 on Strathmore toned tan 184-lb. mixed media paper.
