A pastel drawing from a life drawing session at the old Hipbone Studio in Portland. The space was about 20 feet wide and 3 times as long, it was usually jammed packed at the Thursday night long term pose. This nude figure study was completed in one three hour session. Kestral was tanned at the time which gave her skin a faint orange glow against the slate blue wall. I pushed the colors and blended her face with the background. The legs look a bit like red bananas, my nickname for this piece.
Nude pastel drawing done with Schminke pastels on Rives BFK paper.
