pastel colors for carol . . .

I must admit that I really enjoyed tossing around those pastel sticks!  I was actually afraid at first because this drawing was a little larger than normal for me.  Afraid? I thought.  Of a ballerina?! Get to it girl! I said.  And look - another wonderful self portrait (inner self)!  I left the arm undone because so doing was so much fun!  This is on heavy cardboard but I think that one day I will try pastel board.

You deserve to be good to your artist self. Get some decent pastel paper to work on. Canson is good, especially the Flannel Grey, which doesn't have the annoying overdone texture that some of the other colours have. It is not as expensive as Wallace and some of the other papers and boards.

You have mastered the human figure well. I only copy someone else's figure work so far. I'm putting together some of the points I've learned from the three books I'm reading but it might take a little while since this week is really busy. My husband signed me up to teach a workshop about facebook....Yikes.
