Drawn with pure charcoal chunks producing the blackest black. Beautiful contrast with large pure white shapes filling the page and veils of white paint overlaid. Loose but statuesque.

This style of drawing is usually done from a live model's pose in just a few minutes.

PLEASE NOTE: This piece is done on newsprint that has a slightly off-white/tan color. (warmer than shown here). Also paper is fairly thin and used generally for rapid poses. It's "work paper." Newsprint has a tendency to turn darker on exposure to too much light - so please do not put in direct sunlight.

Signed by the artist, Bess Cutler, 2018.

18 x 24 inches on paper.

One small repaired torn corner. And some wrinkles in the paper. As i said, newsprint is "work" paper and not treated as precious. I prefer it because it shows the artist's process. The feel of the different pressures and speed and emphasis - it's a more human connection to the artist than most other media offer.

Will be shipped in a hard cardboard tube. less
