Life Drawing
Watercolor sticks
20 x 26 inches
2008

Lively colorful life drawing with surface embellishment, figurative artwork with surface decoration in watercolor sticks.

These are like rich pastels but they can be washed out with water to create airy watercolor layers. All the life drawings though are done in only a maximum time of 30 minutes so I just use the sticks as straight drawing tools. There's no time to play around with water in that time frame. I leave that for my paintings.
