BLUE HAIR 8"h x7"w pastel on canson paper 12" square archival white mat, no glass nor frame $55 + $5 insured priority shipping I just LOVE being an artist, for I can justify everything I create . . . and just because. And who says I can't make blue hair? Pretty punk, huh? Actually this was a sample for my upcoming classes at UCSD Extension. Blue Hair is an old sketch which I drew from life, so decided to play with it. Previously, the features of the young girl were undistinguishable, so I blended, drew, washed and stroked for the above piece. Oh . . . for the record my pastels I exhibit are never blended. I create them by extensive layering and will cover this technique as well.
