AS3 by Alan Stevens

this is a very good painting. could you tell medium and size?

Excellent - love the shadow.

Well done Alan, superb work.

Thank you all for your comments. Like most of my drawings this one is in white conte (but on dark green paper not chocolate - slightly warmer). I haven't drawn for a while and I found that my technique is a lot looser and faster now. The break did me good! I've just taken the drawing down and measured it - it is 330mm x 240mm

Alan - thank you for the good comments. I am in a Life group and we meet weekly. The practise is improving my drawing but I feel 'clumsy' when I try pastel. I watercolour life and portrait too with mixed success. Erm well spotted, Rose Madder is my little joke! I think you must hie your own model because they are so beautifully posed - in a group you have to take what you can get and its hard to be in a good position because moving around just causes lots of sighs and tut tuts.
