Kezia in Sleep Mode I, A3 sketch pad, Oil Base pencil 2009

This is my first for a series of life sketches I'll be doing of Kezia. You can see all the sleep mode series I've done but most will be of Josh. It is an interesting thing to study children while they sleep and for Kezia , I had to quickly sketch her while holding her head in my hand (you'll see part of my thumb showing). I had to stop when I heard a big rushing flush......you know what that was.....pooooh! Back to the nappies.....



This was done in an oil base pencil in my A3 sketchpad. it was almost life size.
