This profile portrait is one of the studies I am making for my upcoming portrait course Drawing in the Soul.

It’s such a pleasure drawing this way, working with value and line, trying to catch a certain expression without overworking it.

Reminiscence. Red hard pastel and a little white soft pastel on Fabriano Rosaspina paper, size 34 x 23 cm (approx. 13 x 9 inch).
