| Pastel portrait |
I think I mentioned before that it has become our ritual at night for the adults to gather in the family room at night, and either watch a program on tv, read, play a game or generally relax and have conversation together. When the four of us get together after a busy day, there is usually some topic of conversation that we are ready to tackle!
During that time, my daughter and I usually have our drawing boards out, and are enjoying a time of creating with our newest medium(s) - charcoal and pastel. Zebra and Two Burros are both black and white pieces that I did over the course of several evenings, and now I have ventured into color.
Since I am just exploring, and have not taken or read any instruction on using pastels, I am not sure how one is supposed to create different colors. I think, though, that I would need to actually buy the color I need rather than being able to create the color like I do with paints...
Anyway, I used the colors I had to do this portrait - and it turned out to be a fun learning experience. :-) I do plan to do several more pieces in the black and white "series" as I loved how they turned out...
