Some of you know I am doing a year-long study of Weeping Buddha
along with the lojong postings on my other blog.  Thanksgiving, the first
was a simple line drawing of Weeping Buddha.

Now all color, pale wood colors and darker wood colors.
Some shadows influenced the color of the wood.

Finally shadow using a Lyra water-soluble graphite crayon.  I love this technique.
After the initial sketched charcoal I wet it with a #8 or #12 round, and then put some
on my fingers and smudged it and smeared it.  I love the color of graphite and
when it becomes a paint-like substance it is quite beautiful.

 Painted in OKINA (Cadic) journal with Lyra Graphite Crayon + various watercolor paints.
