realistic nude pastel drawing

Nude 04 (2013)

A pastel drawing with clairobscur as a theme. I exploited the contre-jour effect to the max. The reference photo is not mine and I only could dream of finding and affording such a nude model one day. This having dreamt in the same afternoon I gave nude model class and a new model similarly well proportioned stepped into my studio. She became my regular model and muse I employ up to this day.
