Life Drawing: The Ghostly Face

I prepared some vintage paper with a bluish acrylic paint, applied with a squeegee for my recent life drawing session and as I was sketching the model, I noticed that the uneven distribution of the paint was suggesting a ghostly face. I decided to stop drawing our model’s own face, I’ll go back to this and work up a face that is suggested by the different tones and shapes in the paint. This is similar to the way that some Surrealists worked in the past. I drew with Caran D’Ache Neopastels.
