Study of Ann Reclining
I have always loved working on Newsprint, it one of my favorite papers. It’s a shame it’s so fragile, I wish I could find the same tone and tooth in an acid free paper. This is a sketch of a model named Ann that I did in a session at the Pacific Northwest College of Art. I taught illustration there for a few years. This is a 30 minute study done with Nupastels for Prismacolor.
