PASTEL WOMAN



Not a very creative name. I am trying to take some of the quick figure sketches I've done and create colorful pastels out of them. This was from a 3 minute pose. So I want to see how lighting, form, and if I can capture a mood in 3 minutes or less!. Gives me something to shoot for.

Definitely focussed on the same issue the same way. while i have no price on this and do not have the exact information at this point, i promised some proceeds for sales of this work to go back to Lucy for support of these women she worked with.

Size 20 in. x 48 in.

This is my grandson Marko James. Cutest little guy! This is pastel on canvas board I painted with acrylic and pumice for texture and background color. Painted late last night. He is so tiny compared to my hands.

REFLECTION


I made some new pastel paper using acrylic mixed with pumice and smeered on paper with a palette knife. this made a great background which made it impossible for me to overwork the pastels. This was good for me since I have a tendancy to work my pastels to mud sometimes.
