Doing a Vermeer

I was watching the Girl with the Pearl Earring last night and it inspired me to run off a sketch of the said woman. Initially I wanted to make it a likeness of Scarlett Johansson but this quickly got away from me and as I tried to recover this another woman started to appear who seemed to fit the requirements much better so I went with her. It really is hard this art business, one moment things are working out just right and then the next bang! The whole thing goes wrong. You just have to have faith that you will be able to pull it off in the end.

My art classes start again next week and it will be interesting to see who returns from last year. It will also be interesting to see what they have made, if anything, over the Christmas break. I feel I have moved to the next level, whatever that might be, over this time. Another few months of this and I think I might be ready to take the next leap - painting. Now that will be fun???
