Untitled #16


Untitled #16
22" X 30"
Charcoal on Paper
2013

This was a two hour pose done on Stonehenge paper from life. It's a quality paper to work with, although it's surface qualities are quite delicate. 

Past a certain insubstantial point it's nearly impossible to make any significant alterations without impairing the tooth of the paper. It's feels like you're working on the skin of a grape with a stone brush sometimes.

The models features easily fit with my working style though. Her Zygomatic Arch (cheekbone) was a strong geometric shape to visually latch on to.
