I strive to render the human figure, our abode of living, tingling consciousness, as succinctly and eloquently as possible. When it’s successful, it’s a communication from my embodied consciousness to yours.

Ina, one of our regular models. The spotlighted drawing is done in pencil heightened with white conté pencil.

Two fifteen minute poses, one above, one below. Conté pencil highlighted with conté crayon on toned pastel paper. 32.5 x 50 cm or 13 x 19 3/4 in.

Three four minute poses. 35 x 50 cm. or 13 3/4 x 19 3/4 in.

Tonight felt like a bit of a breakthrough for me. I’ve just started using the sienna toned paper. But which color to use to draw the figure? And then what pastels to use for the highlights? It needs to become intuitive – as it did in this spotlighted one.

Three fifteen minute studies. One above and two below. Conte pencil tightened with conté crayon on toned pastel paper.  32.5 x 50 cm or 13 x 19 3/4 in.

Three four minute studies. Charcoal on toned sketching paper. 35 x 50 cm. or 13 3/4 x 19 3/4 in.

The spotlighted study is one fifteen minute pose. Conté pencil heightened with conté crayon on toned pastel paper. 32.5 x 50 cm or 13 x 19 3/4 in.

Here below are two four minute gesture studies. 35 x 50 cm. or 13 3/4 x 19 3/4 in.
