"Implied Nude" Female figure Pastel drawing/painting by Daniel Peci


6" x 8" Pastels on Canson paper

There's no particular order in which I use pastels, I find it a very impulsive medium and its great for sketching or applying color to a drawing without mixing paints on the palette, most of the time I pick the 'right' pastel stick just by glancing over the pastel box and tracking the appropriate color tone for the spots that needs it.

"Katherine" 5x6" Female Portrait Pastel drawing/painting a day


5" x 6" Pastel and Pan pastel on paper

Ok, so this is a very small drawing, when I work on such a small scale I always try to 'calculate' the composition before I start avoiding unnecessary adjustments later on, I used Pan pastels in a very painterly manner and their sponge like tools to apply the pigment directly, just like oil painting minus the oil, the more delicate parts were drawn with regular pastel sticks.

"Dreaming" 6x8 Female Portrait Charcoal daily drawing SOLD


6" x 8" Charcoal with white chalk on Canson paper

I had to spray this drawing because the vine charcoal was floating all over the surface of the paper and after awhile it won't take any more of it, on the other side I needed it to be fluid and purely abstract around the face so I can create that hallucinatory/dreamlike state from the chaos of the messy 'primitive' charcoal and reinforce the design of the facial features with a charcoal pencil.

6" x 8" Charcoal with white chalk on paper

It seems like I'm in a mode of rendering ethnic portraits lately, it's just that different facial structures are always so interesting to explore and every race has its own unique 'facial recognition system", sometimes this racial differences can be very distinctive and often there's just a slight facial variation.
It took me around 1hour of compressed time to create this drawing, it will be available on a longer 10 day auction.
