Portrait of Ingrid Bergmani 1989 by Paul Noonan Graphite pencil on paper This was the first of three drawings of Ingrid Bergman I did back in 1989. Because this drawing was done on thin cartridge paper it remains in a fragile condition. It's also a tiny picture compared to the portraits I do now. It's fair to say that this Ingrid was my first 'serious' pencil portrait and it came as a genuine surprise to me how well she turned out. As far as technique goes the picture is a combination of drawing and shading. There is no 'cross-hatching' in the pencil work whatsoever and still, for me, it works. I love the hair in this picture.
