Knowledge speaks but wisdom listens


I used a drawing that I had previously created in one of the life drawing sessions to trace over using fineliner. I stuck down quite neutral coloured ripped up strips of paper that could be representative of skin tones but were just quite suttle and did not distract much attention away from the drawing. I ripped around the drawing so that it had rough edges like the coloured paper and I added the quote 'knowledge speaks but wisdom listens' spread out over the ripped paper in quite small writing so that the words did not take over from the figure but you can read the quote if you look well enough at the piece.
