Prismacolor Nu-pastels on toned paper, 18″ x 24″
I have mentioned my new life drawing adventure a few times, and finally here is some of it! I joined an open Sunday session (12:30-3:30) at the local art center. I only managed to make it to 7 of the first 10 sessions, but have just completed day one of the next 10.
The colorful fellow above was actually wearing a black hat and tuxedo jacket (with regular brown cigar), but I was trying out my Prismacolor Nu-pastels and wanted to use more colors. He’s a sort of naughty Willy Wonka I suppose (though not on purpose). :D
The next one is from my third 3-hour session with the Nu-pastels. This time it’s a bit of a Hindu goddess aesthetic rather than a Wonka one.

The next is a portrait, so not exactly figure drawing. I probably spent more time on the hair than anything. This took three hours and I am pretty happy with it.

And finally, this week’s figure using the full three hours. I didn’t show you all my attempts, but suffice it to say even a few weeks of practice can make a big difference!
Hello to Paint Party Friday, and thanks for visiting!
Yet again, your unique style shines through, beautifully! Wonderful!
Oh wow, excellent, Cindy! Your pallette with the goddess is really striking – love it. The older lady with the “hair” is super – the shading on her face is incredible!!!!
Wow, these are really good! I love how your own style comes through, and how each of them has its own character. I can’t even pick a favorite ….
Great drawings as usual. Love the portrait of the old woman and Willie Wonka is quite charming.
