Nude-a-day 14: Sitting cross-leged

Pastel on grey pastel paper 26 x 37


Seated nude on a white quilt. Once again I have used the loose pastel strokes to allow the grey paper to add to the flesh tones, The pastel colours on the flesh are dark brown (right foot), red earth (legs), light red (torso), with highlights of cadmium red, for a lighter shade. Black for the hair and background. Imagine if the paper were black – the flesh tones would look really different.
I hope you have liked the pictures so far. If you liked any of them enough, you can buy the original: £100 unframed plus P & P. Email me for more information at nandnjmellersh@yahoo.co.uk.
