This is a painting I just started on. This is in the stage of round 2 of probably 4 rounds. I think I'm through with the under-painting and am trying to deepen more darks and fit the right colors. I'm still not too used to soft pastels, especially on Strathmore paper. It's very textured which makes using the pastels kinda difficult, if you don't blend, you hardly get any color, just the white of the paper. But, it's good practice for me. I got lots of the cools down, now I'll be working on the warm highlights. I will hopefully put up more soon.

testing.
Hi - followed your link from Carrie Jacobsen's blog..
You draw beautifully - and I'm liking this "start" of a painting even as it is. Lots of energy there and yet it has a tranquility in the hues and textures.
Onward!
(Yours and Carrie's are such reminders that I need to be creating - even when I am working full time, keeping up the farm and the house, et cetera...)
Best wishes..
Hello Patrice. Thank you very much for checking out my blog.I feel the same way. I've been getting so busy with everything else that I haven't just sat down and created. Thanks for the comments.
