Seated Nude on Blue - original oil pastel figurative

drawing of seating nude woman blue background

I began this drawing with a graphite pencil and then worked on it with Sennelier oil pastels and a few Caran d'Ache on Strathmore 8 x 6"mixed media paper.  Didn't do a lot of blending and and finishing (obviously) - just left it pretty raw which is kind of my favorite thing.  Loved her sort of dreamy expression.  Thanks for stopping by!

I love her expression too and the pose that shows how much she is at ease.

Thank you so much, Hilda, I really appreciate your nice comment - but I know with your great ability to render skin so beautifully, you would be really good at this sort of thing!
