Together (Double Portrait), sketch on canvas as of August 19, 2023

Here is the double portrait as it looked on August 19th.  I was already seeing a bit of likeness in both faces. This is still a sketch with conte crayon, blended to indicate shading.  I sketched in trees for the background.  I tend to use different colors of conte crayon to make it easy to see what I am doing as I make changes in a portrait. That helps me to see but can make the colors look a bit garish at this stage, so I have muted the saturation here for posting.
