Aihlbe with Lace Neckline

Aihlbe with Lace Neckline

Remember Ailhbe, my alabaster white bust?   She set up for a pose again and this time it was a downward angle done in charcoal.   Highlights were done with white conte.  

Of course I improvised on the neckline since the bust ends at the neck.   Between Artist Dan Thompson's workshop and the upcoming Rob Liberace workshop, I know I need to practice the portrait as much as I can.
