YELLOW - 10" round pastel on wood by Susan Roden

YELLOW
10" round pastel on wood

Wednesday is a day I typically go to life drawing. 
So wonderful to be immersed in the art of painting 
from life! And I enjoy immensely on trying different 
supports and techniques. 

Above, YELLOW, is a sketch completed in 45 minutes. 
This is on a wooden base and executed with underlying 
pastel washes. I've been playing here for am giving a class
in November at Oasis on pastel washes with still lifes.
More about that coming up later!

Below, RED CROSS,  is the warm-up sketch I created 
during the same session. This is the 2nd and the 
wood substrate measures 7" x 4 1/2". This was created
as a preliminary facial study and to see the effectiveness
of washes onto the wood base. 
Really like what I have going on!
