The Columbus Museum of Art sponsored me to create a chalk drawing at Columbus' annual Via Colori Festival to advertise the Renoir's Women exhibition. The drawing measured 6' x 6'.

Here I am copying the artwork, a Renoir painting in the Museum's collection, using a grid to enlarge it and keep the proportions to scale.
