Nude recliing (2000)

Drawing (charcoal on paper); 36" x 24"

That's a mannequin covered with a sheet in the background on the lefthand side, in case you were wondering. In this two-hour pose, I do my standard "realist" approach. I intentionally crop off her feet in hopes of divvying up the negative space in an interesting way. A common pratfall of mine is succumbing to the overuse of "middle gray." Here, I think I get away with it for the most part. What do you think?
