I was learning to use colored pencils in 1972 and I had a good opportunity to practice with the model from my mother's life drawing group. It was held in an upper room of a fancy Episcopal church in Newton, Massachusetts and you can see my sketchy rendering of the turned-wood structure of the sofa. I didn't draw the model's head because I ran out of time and judged that the body was more important than the face. On longer drawing sessions I was able to include the head as well as the body.
