Red Scarf Model 1972


By the end of 1972 I was getting better at drawing figures and using colored pencils. Here is another model, sitting on a red scarf posing for us artists on the famous Episcopal sofa. The colored pencils are the same as I use nowadays, with a bit of re-packaging over the years. Prismacolor is my favorite brand, though now that so many people are enjoying "adult coloring books" you can get all kinds of types and sets of colored pencils from makers like Blick Studio or Derwent. I have an astonishing number of colored pencils but not too many life drawing models.

Colored pencils on sketchbook page, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", late 1972.
