After the bath

The young woman who modelled for this pastel goes by the name of Neeley Conquest, great name and beautiful model. The pastel is worked on a pumice surface that I prepare myself with acrylic gesso and pumice powder. The surface is fairly textured but can be modified according to the amount of pumice added. I underpainted in acrylics before applying the pastel.
