Portrait of Dancer

10" x 12" pastel on dark grey Canson paper
I am getting better at the proportions of heads and faces...still rather  bad at whole figures. Oh well.

Driving out of Manhattan

6" x 4" pastel on canson paper
This is a color memory exercise. I saw these colors while riding a bus between Manhattan and the Bronx. NYC is wonderful on a sunny day.

Flip-flops

19" x 12" pastels on elephant grey Canson paper
I am not so certain I like working on this color...but it may be all I have for tomorrow. It does yield a certain glow and it isn't as harsh as black paper.

Pastel sticks


Nupastel and Canson paper 12 x 9
I am working really hard to not over work my drawings...also to not break my pastels...also to keep the numbers recognizable and keep them clean. I have an old box that only has about 4 unbroken ones...and a few that still have their numbers on them.

Artist Sketching




Click here to bid on this drawing
Colored pencil on black paper
9" x 12"
sold unframed
I was sketching at the home of a member of my sketch group...the model was in a rather uninspired pose...my fellow artist was far more appealing so I drew her.
