From Norman Rockwell's painting "The Gossips", I did this artwork in charcoal on 11x14 toned gray paper.

Charcoal

Keith

Keith Richards in charcoal, 14x17 vellum bristol. In portraits, deciding where you want your viewers focus their attention is important. It gives order and harmony in your artwork. This is the same principle the artists apply in still life and landscape painting. In this artwork, I give emphasis of the focus in the eyes of the subject where I give so much contrast. Everything else is devalued.
