PLEASANT EVENING SKETCHING


Wednesday evening I went life drawing. Just enjoy so much and a great chance to unwind. These are 2 of the evening sketches I completed within an average of 20 minutes each. The sessions are so short that I limit my pastels to no more than 5 colors, so focus on just the shapes.

    Susan, I think these are wonderful. I started in pastels and love the very unique results of the media.

    Thank you Carol. Pastels are wonderful - feel like I'm sculpting with the sticks rather than painting by the way I manipulate them.
