An Old (Young) Head.

A drawing of a young African woman's head. She is facing to the left and away from us so we only glimpse her left eye and the tip of her nose and mouth. She has brown skin and very curly black hair and wears a large drop silver earring set with orange and yellow stones. The drawing is in a scribbly style with soft chalky pastels overlaid on top of each other.

Here’s another blast from the past, from one of my old life drawing sketchbooks. I drew this beautiful model at Swansea Print Workshop’s Thursday life drawing group about 11 or 12 years ago. At the time I was going through a phase of sticking coloured papers onto the plain white sketchbook pages to add interest, colour and texture. I drew her with soft chalky pastels and compressed charcoal.

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
