Use to denote nudity/mature subject matter Jenny in Headband


This is my pastel drawing from this morning - may not be finished but nearly!
Gentle sweet model - mainly Kremer pastels on the lovely Fisher 400 paper...

Re: Jenny in Headband

I think I would recognise your work anywhere now Derek although I couldn't be sure why as you always use different media! I think it is the faces and this is no exeption as you put it a " sweet model" always nice to open your posts finished or not!

thank you for your comments -
Mac, the pastels are handmade Italian - mainly Italian earth and natural pigments ( got them recently to do some Venice stuff - as the pigments are mainly what you see on the walls on Venice!
and the paper is an English one reminiscent of Wallis but a finer less aggressive surface ( and readily available in UK !!)
