after John Singer Sargent

Tamara Karsavina in the role of Thamar

Henry James

Sir William Blake Richmond

Today I drew studies from Sargent's (my fave artist) book of Portraits. I was focusing on the strokes he used to block in large areas vs. when he used a single simple line. I didn't intend to slavishly copy them, just learn from them. Now I have a much better understanding of drawing eyes!
