Pascale - 2:30 hr pose

This was the first time we have a 2.5 hrs pose...  I used soft and semi-hard pastels and light brown Ingres paper. I began the sketch with sanguine. Then added some turquoise in the shadows and background which demanded lots of intense orange in the skin tones. The background seems to need some more smudging as it seems a bit too rough compared to the model's soft skin transitions...
