Olga Nabatova

18'x24

20 min sketch at Artists25 on tuesday night. 60x90cm paper , HB conte.  I did a portrait of this model back in March  http://nabatova.blogspot.com/2010/03/at-heliconian-club-monday-march15th.html .  this was 2 hours work.

This are 5, 10 , 15 and 20 min sketches on 24x36 format paper. there are always so many people working , no chance to see model up close. This guy has a very interesting face. Hope to do his portrait one day

Newsprint paper , 24x36" conte.  15 and 20 min poses

It's oil on board. tried to make it smaller that life size. always a challenge for me .
