Red Lips
pastel
30.5 x (12" x 18")

The colour in this pastel is somewhat arbitrary.
Pinks, reds, and browns dominate the drawing.
The model was resting on a reddish brown sheet and on her pink robe.
To add to the reds, the model was heated by a parabolic heater just to the viewer's side of the drawing, which helped to reddened her otherwise white skin.

The model is someone, most, if not all of Winnipeg artists enjoy drawing. She has quite a distinctive look with her prominent nose and her bright red lipstick. She also enjoys modelling, and her enjoyment helps put the artists at ease, which usually makes for better drawings.
