'I am the artist's model." ~Albert Einstein
We are almost to the end of the 30 in 30 Challenge, only four more drawings to do...
It's a little sad, isn't it?
Looking back at the photos of drawings you all did in the first week, I can hardly believe the difference in what you've been able to accomplish. I hope you're seeing it too!
Today's challenge is going to feel impossible at first.
They all start out that way, but I have faith that you can do it!
The daily challenges leading up to this day have prepared you. You're ready!
The challenge for Day 27 & 28 (I think you know what it is).....
Create a fused glass powder sgraffito drawing of our model, Albert.

Here are some hints that will help you in your approach:
Begin your drawing upside-down. Squint your eyes and look for the areas that are the darkest darks and the lightest lights. Get the rough shapes of those areas in first. Next, think about the tools you've created and the textures you've been able to make with them.
As you work, take photos of your portrait in progress. This will help you figure out where problem areas are. You will have two days to complete this project, so post an 'in progress' photo for today, and a photo of your completed piece for tomorrow.
You have everything you need, use everything in your arsenal!
I'm behind on my painting challenge... I'll have to bust them out at the last minute (as usual!)
Here is one for today. Alcohol ink on Yupo.
These Alberts are Awesome!
