Sharon Posing Seated on a Stool


Sanguine Conte Pencil on Blue Canson Laid
Paper, 8" x 11", $80.00 Bid Here
This drawing was done as a demonstration in a
figure class. It was meant to show the use of
sanguine (red) conte chalk or pencil for linear and
tonal work, and then the addition of white as
highlighting of highly illuminated areas. It is a classical
drawing technique. The demonstration part of it
explains the unfinished hands and feet, which I actually
like. It leaves something to the imagination.
Completely finished classically-rendered figures
are not something that appeal to me tremendously, but I
do love to draw!
Thanks for visiting today.
