Art Works > Exploring Drawing Techniques and Drawing Materials: From the Ice Age to the present.

Fernande Oliver was Picasso's first love & partner at The Bateau-Lavoir studios in Paris. Fernande's relationship with Picasso heralded the beginning of the Rose Period and the end of the Blue period. The drawing I have made after Picasso's drawing of 1905 (which was in crayon & charcoal) is made in the colour sanguine a warmer flesh like colour. Picasso took his inspiration from a work of Gauguin. So the image is going through stages of transformation. I have tried to catch the rhythm of combing the hair and the hair it's self Picasso is allegedly to have said Great Artists Steal & Bad Artists Copy.
