'The Girl in the Red Scarf"
Pastel
5X5

 

 

 

 

This drawing is from reference photos I took while waiting for my son to run his heat during a track meet.  As you may know, waiting for one 2 minute race can take literally hours!  So, I took advantage of the time by taking pictures of people.  I saw this young girl standing with her mother.  The red scarf she wore was so beautiful against her face.  I was thrilled to capture the variety of exquisite reds in the scarf. 

STUDENT WORK

The work shown in this post is done by students in my current drawing class.  They are making copies from the Charles Bargue Drawing Course as homework and working from the drapery still life during class.

This still life is in progress and is the work of Brittany Foley (16).  Brittany is a very fine draftsman and painter, even at her young age.  This painting, although not finished yet, is a very good example of her skill.
