Seated Model with Wineglass - original oil pastel figurative painting

Done on Judson's Guerilla Painter carton paper, this painting is 7 x 5" - I used mostly Senneliers with a few Caran d'Ache and Holbein.  It's so satisfying to work on this paper - it has many of the attributes of the carton paper of the Impressionists' day, but is touted as being more archival.  I love its warm color, as well.  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog - check out my latest posting on my oil pastel blog by clicking here.

Sketch of The Model with a Wineglass - original charcoal figurative drawing

Really good model with a moody look to her and great at holding a difficult pose with shoulder forward, leaning on her arm.  Maybe a painting in this - I don't know.  It's always just fun to draw, whether the drawings become paintings or not. Drawings are my absolute favorite art thing!  This one is vine charcoal on Strathmore drawing paper, 14 x 11" - thanks for looking!
