How it all begun


My very first piece in pastels - not a very good photo, I know, it is all I've got right now.

This is the piece that got me hooked on this medium. I was taking a drawing class at the Wildfrlower Art Center, and pastels was on the "menu". I started working on it and loved it! I was using the wrong type of paper, and maybe the wrong tipe of pastels, but I didn't care... I was having a blast!

The painting was made using Faber-Castell Polychromos hard pastels on Strathmore 14" x 17" paper.

This piece is not available for sale as it belongs to a private collector.
