Life drawing artworks that I have completed at the University of La Verne. During the class, we had the same model for most of the semester.
Final: Exploration of abstract with the human figure and composition. Soft pastels, vine charcoal, and compressed charcoal were used. The reference of the human figure is from Pinterest.
This was completed as a personal project. It was not done for an assignment. I experimented using vine soft charcoal on an 11 x 14 unprimed canvas. In the background, abstract lines and my adaptation of flowers are acrylic paint. Human figure reference is from Pinterest.
