Female Figure with Drapery and Stockings - the final touches in pastel
I finished working on this beautiful figure with a white silk robe and striped thigh high stockings. The brick red colourfix paper gives the whole drawing a sense of warmth. I love the way turquoise blue pastel pencil reacts against the color of the red paper...causing a little vibration on the surface. That effect, combined with the pattern in her stockings and the folds of the robe, create a truly dynamic composition.
I just love the props, outfits, etc. you have on your models. Your figures are just beautiful to begin with, and the rest just makes them so much more interesting/unique!
ReplyDeleteTruly a wonderful pastel. I love the striped stockings, and the blue does really look great against the red.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work.
ReplyDeleteI really like figure studies that are not mechanical or methodical.
Your work has a nice balance of beauty, grace and sensuality.
