Another line drawing - just fooling around with ink, 12 x 9" on Borden and Riley Paris paper for pens. Today I participated in a photogravure printmaking class sponsored by the McNay Art Museum in conjunction with their photogravure exhibit. We went to Hare and Hound Press for instruction - I will never master the intricacies of printmaking, but today was interesting and fun.
Here's my print - maybe a little over wiped, but not too bad, I think.

Nude Sketch - original charcoal sketch of a nude
It seems I got a little caught up in the model's face and never really "fleshed" it out. She had such a lovely face and I was trying to do it justice. Anyway, maybe I'll get another chance with this model - she said she'd be back. Also, not totally pleased with how I took the photo; maybe I'll retake it tomorrow. I'm such a nitpicker! Vine charcoal on warm white - with a peach tint - Strathmore 403, it's 12 x 6 1/2". Thanks for looking!

Sketch of Shari - original oil pastel portrait sketch
The model was tired, I was getting a bit weary myself, and I think the feeling is reflected in this quick drawing. I used dark green Mi-Teintes board, which seems to give a looser feel to oil pastel drawings. It's about 10 1/2 x 12" - thanks so much for stopping by!

Another Torch Singer - original oil pastel figurative painting
My wonderful assistant, Roger, was sprayed by a skunk an hour or so ago. Ugh! I've been outside trying to get the peroxide/baking soda/dish detergent to work a miracle. But time always seems to work the best, unfortunately. So, even though he's locked up on the porch, the whole house smells like skunk - not the sort of far-off skunk smell, but the in-your-face skunk smell, which is pretty nasty.
I guess Roger won't be assisting me for awhile. Thanks for stopping by!

Nita Sleeping - original charcoal figurative drawing
I love to do sleeping poses, especially when the model actually goes to sleep. This pose didn't last nearly long enough to suit me, but I guess I accomplished the general idea. It's done with vine charcoal on Strathmore drawing paper and is about 10 x 10". Has anyone out there used carbon paper for drawing, lately - or ever? Not long ago, I visited a drawing show where one of the pieces was done using carbon paper. I guess it actually works like a monotype, but much less messy. Anyway, I'm about to find out and am really excited. I love to make monotypes by putting the paper over the inked plate and drawing. Now that I think about it, I guess the carbon paper won't be exactly like that, but close enough and should be fun. Thanks for stopping by!
