Promising start

A longer version of one of her gesture poses. Another five minutes would have made me even happier.

Good to be back

Took a wee bit o' a break (been listening to Billy Connolly lately) but I'm back with some new stuff that I did last night. Here are the gestures.

Update

Prairie Child sold recently at the Bradford Brinton Biennial show.

Taking a break

Had to stay late at work so I missed our session last night. I'll start digging around for some old stuff to fill the gap.

More lost edges

I like how the line of the arm leads into the edge of the palm of her hand, creating the border that isn't quite there. A nice way to end the evening.

Bad Mood

Sorry, just a drawing today.

Lost edges

One of my favorite techniques is the use of lost edges. Many call this vignette but I always felt that meant a kind of "Vaseline on the lens" look of fuzzy edges to the background. I like the use of the paper as part of the drawing, not just what the drawing resides on. Even when I paint (which is nowhere near enough) I like to leave raw canvas or the gesso showing through.
