Using pastels is like playing golf: every time you pick them up , it's as though you have never used them before. Previous successes in the medium are irrelevant and unhelpful. Ask Tiger Woods.
This is why this blog is very helpful. I can put all images for a certain topic together in one space and compare the techniques, colours, strokes and effects. No two paintings are alike, yet I think I have my own style.
Gollum
This model is fabulous. She is fleshy, round and elegant with tiny hands and delicate ankles. I might use this sketch as a basis for an oil painting. I must remember to take my camera next time as the models usually allow you to take photos.
