Description Charcoal and white chalk based on this reference photo [link] by

I think this will grow up into a painting. Given how slow I am I thought I'd better post this now just in case the painting never gets done or I screw it up.

lovely sense of lighting and I love the smooth gradations in this! The way she is holding her hair makes me think that she has just come out of the shower, or maybe the pool, and gives the picture a bit of a story.

Thank you. Most of the credit for this has to go to faestock. I just pushed some charcoal around. It was a truly lovely pose that I just couldn't resist.

Thank you so much. A lot of the gentleness you're seeing has to do with subject matter. That leads to the question does style lead to subject or does subject determine style? Or maybe it's just a matter of edge control. At any rate I try to do what the image calls for.

I'm always amazed at how fast you can get a response here. I'm still linking things up and there's already something here. Maybe I need a faster connection. And thanks for looking in.
