Art Model Pale Pencil 1975


You can never have too many art models, or drawings of them, at least if you're an artist. My mother left behind literally thousands of model drawings and I had to sort through them to see which ones I'd keep. This job isn't done, either. I still have more of Mother's drawings. This page is mine and these drawings were done while I was at one of her life drawing sessions. I was experimenting with two different ways to render the same pose: pale limited colored pencil, and light monochrome pencil. Mother scratched hers out in pastel, a medium I never tried then and haven't ever now. 

Pencils on sketchbook page, 8" x 10", 1975.
