This sheet holds three quick sketches of faces. The top one is a loose, dark watercolor with heavy blue strokes—almost like a shadowy mask. The other two are drawn in pencil or crayon, one in profile, the other three-quarters view, both with light, sketchy lines. The top sketch stands out because it’s painted, while the others are drawn. The blue looks wet, like it could smudge if you touched it. Check out *watercolor, glazing* to see how artists build depth with layers of paint.
