The drawing is on cold press watercolor paper which was prepared with
gesso, and a wash of a very light tint of watercolor. Because of the
gesso preparation the heavier marks have almost an engraved quality. I
used only an hb, and a 2h pencil in this work. The overall effect is of
tremendous patience and precision as in a rendering, but an enlargement of details shows
an expressionistic feel. The drawing measures 12.5" x 9.25", and is
signed and dated at the bottom. Richard Britell, May 2012
