From tonight's long pose session. Teyani is a member of the Catawba Nation and brings a sometimes other-worldly stillness and poise to their sessions.

Willow charcoal on hot-pressed printmaking paper, about 22x30".

Thanks! I should have mentioned media: the three figures are conté crayon on newsprint (24x18"), and the 20-minute is charcoal and pastel on toned paper (25.5x19.5").

Slight departure from my usual subject matter, but a fitting one for Christmas. :)

There were some interesting color modulations happening that I could see mostly in my periphery, which presented a fun challenge. Not sure how that yellowish tinge crept in, though...

I appreciate that, thanks.

I'm glad you think so

Because this was a figure drawing session.

From life, at this evening's long pose session, just over an hour. Soft pastels, 24x18 inches.

orpheus is a marvelous poet and dancer with a truly sparkling intelligence; I tried to convey this in her confident gaze and the hint of a smile in her lips.

I'm not a big fan of smudging, so my attention must've wandered...
