Seventy-Eight























Study (after Watteau). Watteau did so many studies and I love how many he did of heads at different angles. I struggled with this one a bit, thinking that the mouth was at a funny angle, but when I adjusted the mouth it didn't change. When I returned after stepping away I could see that it was not the mouth that was the problem but that the left side of her forehead (her right) was too wide. 

I loved the way her hair turned out and I didn't feel like changing it so the poor girl remains with hydrocephalus but great hair. I thought it was interesting too how this drawing problem solving relates to the work I do with yoga therapy -where the pain is felt is rarely where the problem is.
