A somehow expressionistic kind of pastel drawing that came from a live drawing session with my favorite model.

Reclining nude – 10-11-14

A vibrant pastel drawing of a reclining nude woman seen from above, illuminated by dramatic color contrasts in yellows, greens, blues and oranges, with strong directional lighting and textured diagonal strokes.
