Reading

In late June it rained very hard outside the gallery, but it was warm inside. Our model, Ricardo, was wearing a bright warm orange T-shirt with a shiny purple violet scarf. This is a figure study I did with soft pastel on Carson pastel paper. The size is 19" x 29"   Philip Ng

Adrian

Today I had a yen to draw, not paint. So I was able to do three portraits of Adrian.

The first one, in charcoal, is the best. The second one, in bright colors, gave me a chance to go crazy with oil pastels. It was fun, but the results are only so-so. The third, in pastels, sanguine conte, and pencil, came out okay.

(I don't understand how this blogging program orders the pictures! The first one I posted, the charcoal drawing, came out last when published.)
