This is a new gouache and pencil on cardboard I did during a week of studying the artist Toulouse Lautrec. Most artists know of his work. I am surprised how many non-artist are not familiar with him. He was portrayed by John Leguizamo in the movie Moulin Rouge.

Unfortunately, Lautrec is often though of as a lesser Degas, since there are some stylistic overlaps in their line quality. I am more interested in Lautrec and consider him a great artist in his own right.
