Portrait workshop

After I participated in a Pastel Portrait workshop with Jane Romanishko I became inspired to paint people. Here are the results:

"Madonna", soft pastel on Pastelmat.

 "Tibetan Nun", soft pastel on Pastelmat

 "Coffee Break" soft pastel on prepared surface.

 "Frida", soft pastel on Pastelmat.

"Marilen" soft pastel on Sennelier sanded paper.

Girl with Orange Hat - portraiture workshop

In mid February I attended a workshop on Portraiture with Dianna Ponting, and here is the result.
It was a very interesting class, with great people and a super teacher. Lots of learning, at many levels.

I can't take full credit for this painting as Dianna helped quite a bit, her intent being to send you home with something you co-created that can be used as reference material for future works.

A great class, I recommend it to anyone. I wish I was going with Dianna to Europe (specially Greece) for her workshops on plain-aire painting...

It is painted on suede board with soft pastels and measures 0.41 x 0.51m
