Annie Williams - at hold out on the detail

Annie told me that she commonly does non exercise a preliminary sketch.  I'm guessing that equally an extremely experienced creative someone she knows what industrial plant - although she confessed she had her fair portion of paintings which hasn't!  It's ever overnice to know what fifty-fifty really proficient artists receive got paintings which don't work.

However she does exercise sketchbook studies for her etchings.  I was able to sentiment a sketchbook which was precisely stunning.  Amazing pencil drawings which were industrial plant of fine art on their own.
