Ellie reclining


Charcoal pencil on paper approx 18" x 10"

Graphite pencil on paper approx 18" x 14"

Ellie was the model again yesterday evening. She is a joy to draw. Each image took about one hour. She kept the same pose all evening but I moved position half way through.

Brilliant composition on the second one, Sheila. Adding the wall elements along the top edge stabilizes all those diagonals, lovely!

Thank you Diane - I like to include background elements sometimes - as you say it can enhance stability and give 'context' to the figure.
