Original artwork description:

A kneeling pose at an imagined altar. The female model sinks into the kneeling padding. The arms balancing the pose on the counter-top.

Drawn in bright pastels on black sugar paper with the white highlights defining the muscles. The size given is the size of the paper.

Lightly fixed, the drawing will be loosely rolled in a tube for delivery.

I regularly go to open sessions with a life model is great to improve observation skills. Looking intently at the bone structure, tendons and muscles sharpens the ability to notice how they work. It's a great way of sharing the costs of a model, ideas, feedback and what's going on in the world of art.

NB the colour of the picture may be slightly different on your monitor/phone depending on settings.
