Castings
DRAWING IN THE PRADO MUSEUM, Madrid, with a steel dip pen
and acrylic ink, I used the nib upside down to gain needle-sharp
precision. Fast lines carve out the features of Goya's soup-slurping
hag. Van Dyke's noble cast of characters was modeled more finely,
seeking the dominant contours of each individual expression.
