White Spaces



More nudes. I've been in the groove with life drawing.









It's really rewarding to see some of my skin tones evolve. Often, white is quite important to my palette. In this one above, for instance, this woman's back is barely coloured. It's skin colour tinted, and in the middle everything becomes quite white.




This woman did not, in fact, have a black eye. This is what happens, though, when you're capturing shadow and the 30 minute session is suddenly over. I'm not at all upset about its being there.





This one was a bit of an experiment. I won't try the charcoal like this again but a thick pen - perhaps in a colour/shade that isn't black - might be nice.





The life drawing furniture is looking good.

 FYI this is a maraca below.










This one above is watercolour pencil.





And this last one is one of my favourites of the past few weeks.
