Nude a day 31: I'm taking a break

Pastel and water colour on white paper. 22 x 36 cm
She's half stretching, half leaning (is there a word for this?) I've combined water colour and pastel – not a clever combination but I reached in haste for whatever effects I could put down speedily. Water colour is transparent, pastels opaque, and it's a bit like a bacon and meringue sandwich. Not a good combination.. but I do like the air of arrogance or peace about the picture. Pastels are best on textured tones paper – avoid white paper, like I used here,

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.

Anyway, please let me know what you think by commenting either on the blog or by email to me at the address above. As we did last year we will raffle away two prints among those who comment. So start commenting for a chance for a prize.!)
