A SKETCH

By Diana Maric

THE ARTIST

Diana Maric was born in the inner suburbs of Sydney and then moved to the Blue Mountains during her teenage years. There she was schooled and eventually pursued a teaching career. She likes all things creative and has chosen to pursue art as a career.

THE ARTWORK

The sketch is from a series of many life-drawing exercises. These were composed in a studio with a live model using various media. This particular image was sketched using charcoal. I was portraying a wistful image of looking forward into a future where women are seen as beautiful for what they are, and not always portrayed as unrealistic and unnatural.
