Publilius Syrus
This is sixth drawing in the series of women with red. I have learned a lot about shading and value doing these drawings. It is my intention to do six more in the next several months. For now, though, I have become interested in working with colored pencil. My experience with this medium is very limited but I have enjoyed working on the red parts of these drawings. Currently on my drawing board is an art deco flower composition. I am using a limited palette of red, green and blue. Next time I will post it even if it's not finished. In this particular drawing above I really tried to broaden the value range from the whitest white to the blackest black I could achieve. She is definitely my favorite ~ probably because I can see some progress in my technique. I also walked away from this one earlier than I did the others. It is my tendency to overwork my drawings, I think ~ always aiming to be a little looser. That's not so easy, though, as I always see room for improvement. Like the saying goes though, artists don't finish their works, they just abandon them.
