DIANE AND ROBERT
8 x 10" Graphite on Bristol. 6700 Ivory Black Pencil from Derwent, to bring out more of the values. This was taken from an old photo as a birthday present from Robert to Diane. Of course she loved it, but I loved the timeless beauty of that tiny snapshot. The photo was shot in the 1940s, and I would have loved being there with them at that time.
He wanted another, because they loved the first one. This is an even younger Robert, in the standard sailor's uniform! He later became did service in the United States Navy as a commander.
ROBERT
8 x 10" Pencil on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper. I did this with a number 2B Staedtler Mars Lumograph pencil, of which I'm kind of particular about.
