Three Models - original charcoal nude drawing

In addition to the three different models, the interpretation of each is a little different, as well - only the tiniest bit, but still. . . .   I really think the artist always responds to each individual model and this shows in the finished drawing.  This drawing is on 9 x 12" Britol board paper and I used vine charcoal - always so forgiving!  Thanks so much for stopping by - always great to see you here!

Flowered Robe - original oil pastel figurative sketch by Connie Chadwell

This is quick sketch - well, I guess most sketches are quick - of the model as she put on her robe at break.  She was nice enough to hold it for a few minutes and we  - being the nice people we are - let her take a longer break.  Probably didn't get all the flowers in the right places, but there wasn't much time. 
I did this one on sand-colored 7 x 5"Pastelbord.  This is a really great color - am coming to love it more all the time.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Pssst - see what's going on at
The Oil Pastel Review.    Email me anytime - I'm always glad to hear from you!

Four One-Minutes - original charcoal life drawing by Connie Chadwell

SOLD

Hi everybody! I was away for a few days and haven't posted in awhile, but am currently working on more paintings.

This drawing is from a series of one-minute gestures that I did in a life drawing session I attended last week.

There is nothing like drawing from life! I draw people every day, but usually it's just someone who's going about his or her daily routine, so it's always a pleasure to have a professional model in front of me.

These quick charcoal gestures are on 18 x 24" Strathmore drawing paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by Hackberry Street Studio!
