Pastel on yellow paper 29 x 28.5 cm

I ask myself "What is my figure thinking" and I use and I use the answer as a title for my picture. I used the light yellow colour of the paper as a flesh tone most noticeable on her upper body. I use the texture of the paper to break up the pastel strokes thus allowing it to happen.

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.
