A Pastel of Martha Graham 18x24 in.

Final project in my figure drawing class. The assignment: choose a picture with good highlights, shadows, the face and full body. I chose Martha Graham, not only because this photo met all the requirements but also because she wrote the essay "An Athlete of God". She used the analogy of dancing in her writing, but I think it can be applied to anything in life. I need to mention my amazing talented art teacher, David Bowman. Check out his work, he's crazy good.
