Josh returned from nursery today very tired, I just lay him down on the couch and voila---its sketching time.

This one was done in wax crayon,I've never really sketched with only wax crayon, it is rapid and can produce a vast variety of darks, very quickly.

I have always wanted to do an ALLA PRIMA piece of Josh and just forget whether good or bad and this one I did yesterday made me glad, even though I had problems with his exact resemblance!

Its Josh having breakfast with BOB- oil on linen and sweat------no more no less!

And here is the "gutty-watty" palette

I caught Josh in sleep mode again, this time I had a bit more time, until............he changed gears on dream express!

This was another opportunity to catch Josh in sleep mode.

It was a fantastic pose, until he flew to another position in dreamland, oh no! Shame, this is the only time he can be this still!

I used a 9B pencil in my A3 sketch pad.

I slept off with Josh today but as I got up before him. I managed to squeeze this sketch before he changed positions.
