This portrait sketch was done quickly from a live model. The pose would normally be a very tough one to hold, but she rested her head lightly against the wall - which to my eyes, resulted in a charming, wistful look. Today I posted on
The Oil Pastel Review another oil pastel. It's also a portrait, with the title "Sketch Chronology". I hope you will check it out!
"Sketch of Penny" is painted on 11 x 14"
Strathmore 403 oil pastel paper.
Thank you for visiting Hackberry Street Studio - hope to see you here again! PS - Sorry, subscribers, I had to correct the size of the painting. Hope you didn't get more than one notification.

Hi Dolly - I'm delighted to see you here - thanks so much visiting my blog!
Wonderful picture. She looks so delicate and knowing. A great feel to it.
It would be a tough pose to hold, and to draw. Hard not to make the head straighten. You did it just right.
I just love it when portraits come out like this! They seem to have a story built right into them.
