Pastel

 Same pose, but I decided to change it to Pastels and charcoal 

Evolution of a sitting pose

Quick color block in. I started with a limited palette of Ultramarine blue and Alizarin, white and oche. This helps me establish quick values. 

This is the first stage. I had some difficulty with the head. The angle proved difficult and the paint was lifting/smudging around so I will tackle it next session

 This is the second session. Adding layers of pain.

When I got home I painted a new head as I could not see very well , however I am not very happy with it.

Ink Drawing of a Samurai

This is an ink drawing I did with a Japanese brush and Windsor & Newton black ink. I do this without a preliminary drawing to sharpen my concentration skills.
