I have been trying out a new camera in the hopes of improving my photos of work so have practiced on some old pieces. This piece was done some years back when I had the opportunity to learn from a classically trained artist. Academic training requires copying master drawings. This trains the eye and improves the ability to render what you learn to see. The drawing is a copy of a master work by Pierre Paul Prud'hon. It is done in charcoal on paper. I altered it a bit to have the 'buddy' sitting on a log instead of a big jar. My husband is a forester and he always told people that he had modeled for me...:)
