Woman on a Plane Print

I was inspired to draw the woman sitting opposite me on a flight to Tasmania from Perth. She was absorbed in her headphones as people often are on planes these days and it provided me an opportunity to practice my drawing skills as part of an on going exploration of people and faces which I am currently re working as paintings. I hope viewers will enjoy the way I enjoyed looking at and translating this model into lines and colours on the paper. I hope they will think drawings that depict and represent the seen world are as interesting as abstract productions from within the mind. I chose the medium because in the airplane it is impractical to paint and draw in anything but the simplest mediums. Time is limited and one does not want to make another person feel uncomfortable. At the conclusion of this sketch the woman it depicts took a photo of it and possibly used it on social media. I ran into her on the flight back from Hobart to Perth which was a nice conclusion to the process.
