Plein Air Nocturnes
This is a quick charcoal sketch I created back in 1999 when I was pursuing my Master's Degree in Art. The criteria was to create a series of plein air nocturne sketches using a live model as the subject.
I sketched the model at the Santa Barbara Train Station around 10 pm.
Being it was winter time in a public place, the model preferred to pose "draped".
