The standing gesture poses are pastel on 12"x16" pastel paper.
I was using some very old, very soft pastels that had apparently been through too many extreme temperature changes: They crumpled to nothing but powder as I tried to use them. It was frustrating.

Looks like a good day of drawings. Enjoy your pastels.
Jean are all good, I like especially the last one
Thanks, Anthony and Laura.
Anthony, I was using some very old, very soft pastels that had apparently been through too many extreme temperature changes: they crumpled to nothing but powder as I tried to use them. It was frustrating.
I like the last one best. Something about their having similar vertical lines,but some differences in shape and color, little or no gender separation . . . that adds up to something interesting. The red of course stands out . . .
Thanks, Banjo.
Those are one minute gesture poses, piled on top of each other.
I don't often get to drawing early enough to draw these poses, but they tend to be some of my favorites, too, because they can be more dynamic.
I like the last one best too. It has a lot of energy. You do amazing work, even with your crumpled pastels and frustration.
Susan is right about the energy. Sort of has a 60s feel to me, and I like it.
Thanks, Susan and Margaret.
