Lady in Red

A very beautiful woman hardly ever leaves a clear-cut impression of features and shape in the memory: usually there remains only an aura of living colour.

      This is the second drawing in the series I am working on of women.  This one appealed to me because of its simplicity ~ simple hairdo, simple dress, no jewelry and yet she conveys such elegance and style just in the way she holds herself and the way she gazes so confidently into the distance.  I am toying with the idea of drawing some girl children but am finding that the older faces give me more chances to work on mastering value ~ lots of wrinkles to work with!
