Description 'Portrait Study' - Date: 1979 This is a conte crayon and pastel drawing that I did in 1979 of a classmate I knew in college. Even though most of my paintings are expressionistic in nature, I also enjoy creating realistic figurative drawings and portrait sketches from time to time. This portrait study was done nearly thirty years ago, but seems like yesterday when I look at the slight smile and the youthful optimism in my subjects face. The original is a very fragile drawing on paper and in a private collection, but I am offering print reproductions of this portrait for sale.. Thanks for stopping by.
