Finally made it to a figure drawing session this weekend after weeks of playing hookey and painting plein aire landscapes instead. We had a new male model with an interesting face so I decided to do a pastel portrait. We only have 20 minutes to capture a quick likeness. I worked on some deep purple, textured stock that our advertising agency had received from a paper company. You have to kinda work in reverse when you are drawing on dark paper. Its good practice for seeing the lights and darks of a subject.
