I'm wondering if the challenge of two or three-tone notans will 'destroy' the way you draw with threads of colour, rather than solid flat blocks. ie with lots of very subtle gradients & fine shifts of tone...'Optical blending' I think you call it, of which your flower drawing 'The White Tulip' is a fine & enchanting example.<BR/><BR/>Bonne chance - and all else fails, you can always use the samurai sword for sharpening the pencils!Adam Copehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597553517593344369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-4728217743189531002007-06-13T13:53:00.000+00:002007-06-13T13:53:00.000+00:00You Georgia O'Keefe drawings are absolutely gorgeo...You Georgia O'Keefe drawings are absolutely gorgeous!

In which case it's going to get a much more interesting title!
