Demo — Painting the Portrait In this piece I decided to do a more involved underdrawing in vine charcoal on toned canvas (which I spray-fixed). There are basically three reasons for this.1.)

I have to wait for the creative moment, for the inspiration to hit me.” Painting Spices! — Rebecca Green Truly, this could have been painted a thousand different ways.
