French Kiss Nude Male Female Art Pencil Drawing Rac

This is a pastel pencil drawing on acid free paper by me, the Rac.  Piece measures 7 1/2" x 6".  Dated 6/18/06.  In shades of flesh, browns, & black.  This piece was done at the same time as "First Time".

"The French Kiss" belongs to my Straight Series, usually men and women together.  This is the small version of this piece. I do it in different sizes.  This one is done in what I call my simple line style.  It's where all the other styles came from.  I still like it a lot because of the simplicity of it.

Some of my art works, although still hand drawn and colored, are done more than once.  If the name of the art above has a number in parenthesis, it is one of these pieces.  That number is how many pieces have been done.  This is the 12th one of this piece.

Keep in mind that all art works look even better framed. Framing can make even a not so hot piece look fantastic if framed correctly! Having them professionally framed is best. If you have a Perils Art Supplies in your city, they have a good and fairly inexpensive framing department. If in doubt how to frame, remember almost any art looks great framed in black, which in my opinion really makes the colors stand out.

If you want your art work to retain its value, do not have the pieces dry mounted when framed (you may have to specify this). Wrinkles and waves are better than dry mounting art, value wise. Only use acid free material for all matting used to mount the art (you will have to specify this). It's more expensive, but won't hurt the art. Acid free matting is limited in colors, so, only the matt touching the art needs to be acid free.

The above paragraph is only my personal opinion, having been in the framing business for several years.
