At the Art School at Old Church, Demarest, NJ I took several classes with Micki Orbach - anatomy and painting. She introduced me to blind contour drawing, a technique where one draws an object while looking only at the model. The result often lacks in object alignment and proportion but sometimes boasts of the reflection of an inner essence of the subject.
This work was done with a black marker. Later, at home, I took out my pastels and shaded within the outlines to create this final work. From across the room it looks kind of normal. Up close, well you draw your own conclusion about this woman.
