detail from The Horseshoe by Paul Noonan  

The Horseshoe
1990         by Paul Noonan

Detail

Graphite pencil on cardor

Though this is a big picture as my pictures go the scale of the characters is such that attention to detail required a sharp pencil. The bride's hair and the floral arrangement on her head were two of the more testing things to draw. I had to get this right or my sister-in-law would never forgive me LOL.

This was a drawing purely in pencil with no watercolour used so I relied on techniques I used in earlier drawings. Again no cross-hatching of the pencil strokes was used either.
