reffing a lovely still life from unsplash, i believe.
done on slate blue 9 x 12″ canson mi-tients paper.
I’ve been doing a lot of underdrawing with the cray-pas expressionist pastels, which are a lot firmer, so they don’t layer that well with themselves but they behave really predictably underneath the rest of my pastels, and are still really quite lovely as a color spread themselves. I think this might be my new go-to process!
I might try giving this one a real glossy varnish, just to see how close I can get things to look to an oil painting. maybe doing that on paper is stupid, but worth a try!
