Allen Hall

While at Fine Arts on Fifth in Malvern IA I met Allen Hall. He graciously posed for a picture.

I've been trying to take small bits of time to practice my sketching skills. Really I wanted to work my way to some fast on the spot figure sketches of people but can't let go of my detail oriented issues. I recently ordered a Platinum carbon fountain super fine pen that is just a wonderful pen! It's water proof. Also a Kuretake sumi Brush pen that is water soluble. This is what the top hat is done in. This sketch went fast easy! Sometimes your subject matter can inspire you!
