ink and watercolour life sketch

from a standing viewpoint above the model, who is on the floor, I just fitted this sketch onto a quarter-sheet sheet of bockingford paper [11 ins x 15 ins]. recently I have been using a lightweight manfrotto tripod with an easel adaptor plate and board for my life drawing and it proved useful here as it enables the work to swivel horizontally when required
