Revealing Detail...

Presenting today not the full scope of a drawing but, rather, a still-life detail of, specifically the customary late evening unwinding glass of wine (that one could get through the day without, but why would one want to?) – not usually an accompaniment to the drawing process, what with the emphasis being on the maintenance of keenness of faculties, rigour of focus & all, & perhaps there’s a certain looseness in the representation of, but, for once, that might not necessarily be a bad thing (& it’s more the consequence of observing & mark making in subdued ‘mood’ lighting conditions, anyway): whatever, this small corner of the drawing appears the most satisfying in the context of the whole.

The ‘bigger picture’, as it were (v topical re. the Hockney exhibition at the RA), is still in the process of being considered for full revelation.
