High Speed Life Drawings

Pastels: High Speed Life Drawings.

Drawing at high speed can give us really vibrant and exciting images which are even better if they’re overlaid on the same paper. For this exercise I used A1 sugar paper and a handful of coloured chalky pastels. The model went into a sequence of 2-minute poses, five in all and I used a different colour for each pose. Some of the drawings are better than others but if I want to develop one, for example as a print, all I need is a bit of tracing paper and a conte crayon.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D
