After having finished the Saxophone piece – which is now titled, “Reflections on Cool Jazz,” I felt I needed a break from the intensity. I’ve had this picture of my son for about 5 years and always liked it. The photo is black and white, so I decided to illustrate it in sepia tones. I used all Caran D’Ache Pablo pencils in the sepia tones, plus black and white. This piece is done on Stonehenge paper, which I’m still not sold on; however it worked satisfactorily with the oil based Pablos (which I love). Here’s a photo of the work:
