Below is displayed a selection of figure work, in pastel and chalk on paper. These are more abstract than some of my other work, and were carried out a few years earlier.
"RED HEAD" (sketch). Acrylic on paper, July 2013.
"BLUE FIGURE"
"FIGURE 1". Pastel on paper.
"FIGURE 2". Pastel on paper.
"FIGURE 3". Pastel on paper.
"FIGURE 4". Pastel on paper.
"HEAD 1". Pastel on paper.
"HEAD 2". Pastel on paper.
"STANDING NUDE 2". Watercolour on paper.
"SEATED NUDES." Watercolour and Ink on Paper (note to self: do more line and wash: I like these ones...!)
"STANDING NUDE 1". Watercolour on Paper.
"STANDING MALE NUDE: BACK." An interesting and challenging study. Muscles take on a whole different shape depending upon the pose struck: you have to almost reinvent the anatomy from scratch.
"STANDING FEMALE NUDE." A more muscular shape than average: involves a different challenge.
