| Added pastel pencil and finally decided to locate hat in upper right quadrant of paper; also working out values |
 |
| Initial pastel: 8x10 on 600 grit Uart Sanded Pastel Paper -- not my favorite medium, but for competition, it is required. |
 |
| Possibly the final pastel painting, though it still needs to be tweaked. I sill like the subject, but . . . the angle is wrong, and to me, it's not a still life. I've noticed other paintings in the competition that are less still life than this--creeks, rivers, horses, etc. I may or may not enter. At least it doesn't cost anything. I really, really would love to win some of the prizes--a new set of pastels and year's subscription to the Pastel Journal. *sigh* |
