Day 12:

copying Masters references after torso lesson from Steve Houston

Your pastel painting on day 10 is excellent. Which type of pastels are you using? I’m working with Sennelier oil pastels. Any tips or suggestions to getting that skin tone?  I’m struggling to get my skin tone to be both bright enough and varied in color, and also look visually appealing and realistic. Do you use one color as a base color and build from there? Keep up the good work.

I love how you used the different colors of chalk/pastel on this drawing.  It really adds dimension to it.

This is the final result the second day. I used conté a París hard sticks and a few Rembrandt soft pastels. I started on the shadow part of the face mixing olive green, red and burnt umber.

Mainly working with very light touches so that they would mix well.
at the end i used more rembrandt

Thanks for the pointers. Looks great.
