Splash of colour

Messing around with colour. 4 in 5 minutes, 4 in 10. These are water soluble wax pastels.

Long pose (35 minutes) used coloured pencil but didn't have time for more than the purple so I had a go at home to fill in the gaps. Still need to paint her hair (towards yellow/brown).

Lines and smudges.

Not quite capturing structure though some elements work. Six 10 minute poses.

Then slightly longer at 15 and 20 minutes.

Making edges meet

Some odd horizontal distances today. First 10 minute poses.

Then a 90 minute pose

Shapes and colours

Some 5 minute drawings.

Two hours acrylic

90 minutes coloured pencil

Apologies for the quality of the photos: blogspot has decided to add high contrast and darkness to everything.
