"Back Side, One Arm Behind"Charcoal and chalk on grey paper

Working from live models is a luxury for most artists. I'm very thankful for our local Artists' Salon which provides a venue for figure study. This traditional academic exercise is important to understand lighting, form, human proportion, and the optics of foreshortening, as well as an opportunity to increase drawing skills.
I realize, however, that there may be viewers of this blog that might prefer not seeing these studies. So, I'm posting only a portion of one recent piece that's not too revealing as far as nudity goes. Those who would like to view the entire drawing, and my other figure studies in charcoal or in oil can do so at this page at my DailyPainters Gallery.
