Rendering Hair

[Chris Saper]

HI Pat,

I realized today that my mini-demo Painting blond hair in oil lost its images during the Forum upgrade. I just reposted the demo. It's more applicable when ou are working in oil or pastel.

Don't know if I'm allowed to link from a different site, but I have this hair wip showing my procedure. Graphite, especially with straight hair, is easier than it looks.

Thank you Chris and Jimmie,

I went to both reference sights and printed your demos, yours for later Chris, when I start painting, which I hope will be soon. Jimmie, I think your approach is right on and I realize it takes time to master the ability to make good strokes using the correct pressure to taper and putting the lines where you intend. I am beginning to notice, the more I draw that my line quality is slowly improving. Somewhat encouraging!!

I've received good lessons here this week!! I feel so grateful to you all!!
