Stately Gloria 1972


This is one of those things you do in art school. Instead of lines and shading, you are assigned to draw the model with solid areas of light and dark or in-between color. I used ink and brush to do this study of a model named "Gloria." I nicknamed her "Stately Gloria" (you can see it lightly scribbled in the lower left) possibly because of her well-built figure. The original drawing was in pencil and the inks went over it. Nowadays you could do this drawing with color brush markers which didn't exist back then.

Pencil and inks on sketchbook page, 8" x 5", 1972.
