Sanguine Conte' Portrait

[JohnC]

I haven't posted here for a long time, my best intentions are that I'll be back more frequently.
I attended the Perth Art School and did drawing for a semester (a Sunday morning class) last year. The highlight of the term was drawing a model from life over 2 weeks (2x 2hour sessions).
This drawing of 'Georgia" was done in Sanguine Conte'.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I Find the Sanguine Conte' chalk both beautiful and frustrating. It blends very well making nice transitions in tone but because the tonal range is so limited you have to be very careful not to over work any area otherwise you loose the piece. - Been there done that.

Hi Adrian, ....jings how stunning and dramatic you and charcoal were meant to be together - and this is your first portrait???? what more can I say?

The color theme made it more beautiful, keep up good work. Looking forward for more.
