Often, when drawing and painting people, and craving inspiration, I read a paragraph or two of writings by Robert Henri.
When later you come to the painting of the features of the face, consider well the feature's part in relation to the idea you have to express. It will not be so much a question of painting that nose as it will be painting the expression of that nose. All the feature are concerned in one expression which menifests the state of mind or the condition of the sitter.
~ Robert Henri (The Art Spirit)
