Work in progress on a cubistic nude pastel drawing

A new project on wheels, a new pastel in the roundism series, based on a graphite pencil drawing I made in 2015. I’m excited the possibilities Clairefontaine’s Pastelmat offers me. It enables to lay thick patches of pastel (Schmincke, Unison, Sennelier) without falling off the paper like with other brands.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Roundism – 29-11-17)

cubistic nude pastel drawing

Based on a earlier roundism graphite pencil drawing I made this pastel adding the realm of colours. I wanted the woman appear in a kind of midsummernight’s dream with lots of yellow and blues, girded with some purples and pinks.
