8X10"Pastel on sandpaper
This was a very productive weekend as far as this project is concerned--two faces! If I can keep going at this pace, I may actually finish this project.
I was participating in a studio tour this weekend, and I got to talking with one of the other artists. He knows that I've been into drawing a lot lately, and he asked if I do anything with pastel pencils. I haven't done anything with them in awhile, and he was telling me about a special pastel paper that has a surface similar to sandpaper. I thought that I had some of this paper at the house, but I can't remember where I put it. I searched in some of the usual places but had no luck. Instead, I found some actual sandpaper with a very fine grit. I was curious to see how it acted, and that's how this face was created.
