Nude a day 47 Right hand over my shoulder


Pastel and water-based paints - AquaBrique

Recently working on this charcoal study I used AquaBriques:
  1. As crayon lines
  2. As raw strokes of green and raw sienna on the flesh
  3. As dilute washes on the hair and the foreground.
I think this is a good example of using them in three ways. What's good is you can work into a charcoal drawing with strong contrasts and colour.  I chose this viewpoint because I liked to see the model's hand against her hair.

See my video on how I draw nudes at https://youtu.be/E2BjhefGGGk

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.!)
