Raven
An original Prismacolor Pencil, Pen and Ink drawing.
Raven is another in my Native American Woman Series.
Drawn on card stock, bonded, acid free,low tooth artist drawing paper. I use a bonded paper with low or no tooth for the smooth blending abilities and so the pastels are not chewed up during the drawing process.
My Fine Art and Photography Studio is located in Mesquite, Nevada.
As of 11-6-09 this piece has had 1889 viewings.
Thank your for viewing my art.

I can see why you use low tooth or no tooth, as it gives the work a velvety smooth quality. Great work
Susan Bergstrom replied
I found this paper quite by accident…it was actually the only thing I had at the time and it has turned out to be the only paper I use…and I do strive for that velvety look! Thanks for viewing Helen!

Hello Susan. Good to be back on the Bubble finally. Of course, you’ve been crazy busy over here at your gallery. Tons of stuff. You are so productive! Glad to get back here. Enjoying seeing everything and this one was particularly fun for me to look at. Enlarged it so I could see all the detail. There’s something very noble in the pose, yet there’s an undercurrent of sorrow woven into it, too. Hope your summer has been going well. Cheers! TPS
Susan Bergstrom replied
Good to see you back…this piece was posted way last winter, I just keep my most viewed work on my profile page but thanks for the comment on it…I really enjoyed drawing her. I am afraid it would take you days to go through all the new things I have posted since your departure…but thanks for checking in!
