Life Drawing Fun with Pastels



I had to miss life drawing last week because of my calligraphy workshop so I was excited to get back to it. I had fun drawing our model Lisa. Here are a few of the pastel sketches I did on various colored pieces of paper. Since these are pretty quick drawings and some days we do lots I use archival scrapbook paper for some of them. I have found tablets of paper at the dollar store or on clearance and enjoy picking a color that goes with my impression of the pose. It is always interesting to see how the different background colors and values affect the colors of the pastels.
