SUSAN'S . . . PLAYING AGAIN!

SUNSET + RIDGE 12" x 12" soft pastel Above, Sunset + Ridge , shows the finished soft pastel on  the left and the beginning sketch on the right. Of course  there's many interim layers that have been applied, but  for brevity, I'll just show you the beginning and the end. I just love the sculptural process with building and layering  soft pastels!
