Sunday, after all our guests had gone home and the sun had gone down, I thought it would be the ideal time to attempt a self portrait. I wasn't grumpy, just concentrating. I think I spent about four and a half hours on this and had a headache when i was finished. My favorite bit is the book cover. I've decided I really don't like the paper in this sketchbook. I've not found it very ink friendly. I'm determined not to start yet another new sketchbook so i may investigate other media in here and use the watercolour pad for ink. I'll see how i go. BTW, I thought a bean bag would be comfortable but after four hours, it just results in back ache!
