WREATH and WREATH COLORS - figurative pastel sketches by Susan Roden

WREATH

life drawing sketch on paper

I've been knee deep into taxes, organizational responsibilities

and of course, family. Time consuming yes, but really I'm

not complaining. Just that there has been a shortage of time.

So last week I had my play time and went life drawing. So

exhilarating and also takes me away in my mind. The model

was so good that I got the reprieve I needed.

Above, WREATH, is my first pastel sketch on paper. And below

WREATH COLORS, is created on a 10" round wood circle.

The general proportions were sketched in with pastels, then a

water wash applied and an overlay of pastel ontop.
