My favorite hat: This is the hat Kevin Costner wore in "Open Range". Another attempt at drawing with graphite pencil and white charcoal on toned water color paper. I know there's a way to do this successfully, but I haven't found it yet. You can't apply the white charcoal over the graphite, and it's hard for me to get dark tones - even with a 6B pencil. And I'm not sure how to prepare the paper - make the sepia tone all blotchy, or try to smooth it out a little more.

Thanks, Kat, for the little soft furry gift you left for me to step on this morning with my bare feet. Another mouse bit the dust.
Beautiful and interesting effect on that painting, Duene! I like it!
