Self-Portrait Sketch

Experimenting with water-soluble wax pastels and water on a quick self-portrait sketch from a photo. Go on or quit?, correct or leave?, keep or throw away? ... the dilemmas of messing around ... :-) Experimenteren met Neocolor II waspastels en water op een snelle zelfportret schets van een foto. Doorgaan of ophouden?, verbeteren of laten?, houden of weggooien? ... de dilemma's van experimenteren ... :-)
