Water Soluble Pencil Sketches

 

I have been painting lately I swear! It’s just that I don’t have anything in the stage where I want to show it quite yet. I did attend a recent open figure drawing studio and produced these 20-minute sketches on water color paper using a water-soluble pencil. It’s a great idea. Just do a quick sketch, take a water soaked brush and voila! you have something that looks almost like a real painting. Not more building up graduated layers with pencil strokes. Funny how I kept cropping off the models head. What is that all about?
