    Chalk drawing experiment

    ... just to break the visual silence. Imaginary. Playing with chalk starting with a quick tonal sketch.

    wow interesting effects going on here Caesar! Its reminds me of a fresco along some byway in the city.. the soft blurring at the bottom looks more like a watercolor effect.. overall a very impressive image... the yellow eyes are very arresting.

    I like your break in the visual silence Caesar...your sketched image reminds me a little of Irish actor Cillian Murphy, of course without his hair....
    Almost haunting in a effect, as if he's letting us know his story, but without uttering a word.
    Very nice experiment my friend....
    Take care,
    Steve

    Very cool Caesar! Strong portrait style character, and whether or not you intended it, it looks like he's wearing a mohair sweater. Very cool effect. . . Great job. I think the technique works for your style, don't you?

    Watch this all the way through. The audio is hard to understand, so I included the lyrics below, but there's a twist in this once the lady begins singing that sort of gets to your painting.

    Well done Dear Caesar, he looks a bit like "mastro lindo" Ciau ne

    That's what art's about, isn't it -- at some point it's about the relationship between the art and the viewer, sort of like speed dating. (D Akey)

    A pretty unfriendly looking chap with a piercing gaze! I like chalk, it has lots of possibilities.
