Model “D” Placing Her



Model “D” Placing Her
Today in the morning “D” posed as shown in the drawing, for most of the session. I added a background that wasn’t in the studio to place her somewhere other than the stage. I started the drawing using conte, but ended up using pastels. “D” didn’t care.
24”X 18” Pastel on gray colored paper

  1. Quelle grâce et sensualité dans cette oeuvre...
    Une belle lumière éclaire votre sujet... j'aime la manière que vous avez travaillé le fond ainsi que le drapé...
    Gros bisous

  2. She looks like something out of Clan Of The Cave Bear. Nothing as lovely as the human body. How long does one have to hold still? She looks like she didn't care.

  3. martinealison: Thank you

    Darel: Thanks

    Yvonne: “D” posed in twenty to twenty five minute sittings, with breaks in between, over a three hour session. It does look a bit like the cover of the book.
    Thank you

  7. something so simple like that green setting her off and making her distinct from every other model you've captured.

  8. It does seem simple now, in hindsight, to place her in the woods.
    Thank you
