This portrait is of my daughter Jaz, started with 20 premixed tones, from white through to black, each shade ever so slightly darker from the one before. I had to make sure that I had enough of each tone to complete the portrait from the onset, as it would have been very difficult to mix the exact greys if I was to run out. The beautiful, flowing, organic shapes gradually transitioning from one shade to another make up this work.

I thought about having her do her hair for the portrait, this however would be out of character!!
