This is the first long term pose drawing that I ever did at Hipbone Studio in Portland, Oregon. It was back at Jeff’s old studio on Ankeny, which has now become a trendy bar. The model was Marcie, I worked with her over the next year and created some of my best pastels. This was done on newsprint, a shame because it’s disintegrated over the years. I do all of my long terms on Rives BFK these days.
