pencil,chalk and watercolour wash, on a "splash" of tea;)

[ArtistOz]

you have achieved a quality of skill that is enviable.

This engenders a feeling of abandonment--perhaps it is the uncontrolled splash of tea?

Thank you for sharing.

i ditto Bill's comment - and will add:

splendid.!!

[shadowbxre]

this is quite good.

[budblues]

beautiful work:clap:
how did you make the shadow so soft looking?

[Raindrop]

The splash of tea is following the shape of the woman - or is it the woman who tried to squeeze into the splash of tea? :clap: :clap: :clap:

[scurfer]

Beautiful especially that energy field surrounding her. Not the least bit overworked.

Once again aaasp I am blown away by your draftsmanship! The pose is very attractive and the background blasts with energy. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

This is a truly enviable result. During figure class tonight I know I'll certainly keep this image in mind -- it's inspiring.

Did you apply chalk over the wash while still wet? I've had trouble doing that without damaging the paper.

Great work!

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Craig I waited for it to dry before working on it. On these I also sometimes use a white watercolour pencil.

Hmm... maybe I should get into chalk. This is really fantastic and original.
