This was a much more ambitious drawing and I feel that I made some real progress. One thing that I learned is to not go out of the box too fast or too dark. It is much harder to quiet the darks than to add to them. The checkering concept proved very useful in this drawing. Also, don't be too timid in mark making and that happens with practice and confidence. I am so grateful to spend time with pencil and paper in the mornings. I can see why Van Gogh spent one year doing nothing but drawing......
