Exercise: Tonal Study On White Ground.



graphite stick preparatory sketches.

Acrylic.
Notes,
I started with a couple of graphite stick preparatory sketches just to find a good composition,
then moved on to the final painting. 
I do find it hard getting a good rang of tones, not my strongest point, and something I really want to improve on.
Never the less, I do think it was reasonably successful, 
I think it was a helpful exercise, by eliminating colour and just working on tone it really shows up that rendering the tones accurately is the really critical factor. Without an accurate interpretation of the tones, the painting will always fall flat.
