Pastel on  Black Mi-Tientes

I took a workshop recently with a wonderful pastel artist, Sally Strand. 

This was the second of two model poses she set up for us. Therefore it can not be sold or put in an exhibition as it is not my original creative idea.  Again the focus was on having our lights very clear and keeping our areas of dark,dark enough.

I took a workshop recently with wonderful pastel artist Sally Strand.  This is her model pose set-up.  Therefore it can not be sold or put in an exhibition as it is not my original creative idea.  Sally starts many of her pastels with a medium value watercolor under painting.  Then pastel is applied with cross-hatching in darker and lighter values and a variety of strokes to make an interesting composition.  She is known for her wonderful light areas, and rarely uses pure white for her highlights.
