New drawings

A couple of new drawings from the Stamford Arts Centre life-drawing class (man with tattoos). There is a good pastel drawings exhibition there at the moment. I'm tempted to buy.

Pastel portrait

We had a colourful girl as a portrait model at this week's life drawing group at Stamford Arts Centre. I had to get the coloured chalks out again. Drawing is using conte pastel sticks, with a touch of black pencil on green Ingres paper. I used a rolled up bit of paper (tortillion) to blend colours. This was drawn over two sessions of one hour.
