Face in Blue

Drawn from life.

Pastel on sanded card, 9"x12".

This was sketched last year, during our record-breaking hot weather in Austin.

Resting Woman; Seated Figure in Sanguine

These were drawn from life, a few weeks ago.

Conte crayon on white sketchbook paper, each about 11"x13".

Dreaming Woman

Tombow marker and black ink on watercolor paper, about 8"x12".

I'm just starting to play again with markers, ink and brush--and I am enjoying the experimentation. I like the colors bleeding from the top of the figure, giving some sense of motion and life.

Drawn from life, Wednesday morning.

Gold/Black 1; Calm Heart 2

"Calm Heart 2" is Tombow marker on smoother watercolor paper, about 7"x12".
