Nude-a-day 10: Smoking break

Pastel on brown pastel paper, 23x29 cm.

I used the brown pastel paper as a dark flesh tone to contrast with the light pink highlights. I think the strong brown paper works well as a shadow colour on the flesh.  I think this picture looks fun and cheeky.

Nud-a-day 9: Yes I've got a great idea

Charcoal on white pastel paper 22 x 30 cm

"Yes I've got a great iea" that is what she seems to be saying to me. A standing full-frontal nude in a five-minute pose. In a five minute pose you have time to make a gesture drawing which captures the feeling and personality of the model.

Nude-a-day 8: My favourite song

Pastel on light pastel paper 32 x 37.5 cm. 

In many of the pictures that I will be posting this week, I have noticed the way I allow the paper colour to enhance the flesh tones. 
is paper is very rough textured. Look at her right arm and see how I have the let the light grey of the paper show through all down her arm.
Here, th A white quilt covers her easy chair with green tones behind her. I really like this pose, the legs swinging one way, and the hips, head, and torso looking in the other direction

These reproductions of my paintings are photographs and there is a slight colour difference – for instance the paper colour on the original looks to me a light yellow-grey, in the photo it is grey!
