RED HAIR 6" square pastel on canvas Always amused when I read of the artists swiping their canvases. A pretty hard thing to do when one's a pastelist . . . or is it? Some take a brush and wipe away, others may use an exacto knife and slowly scrape away, yet I have another method. and how? I prime a stretched canvas, then I "swipe" by washing with turpenoid to start over.
