Soft pastels (3)

Life drawing and painting, focused on applying earth colour soft pastels and siberian chalk on coloured paper. Third session on pastel techniques. As with the previous pastel portrait study I progressed very slowly resulting in a very much unfinished portrait. Portret & model-tekenen/schilderen, gericht op het toepassen van aardkleuren pastelkrijt en siberisch krijt op getint papier.

Soft pastels (2)

Life drawing and painting, focused on applying earth colour soft pastels on coloured paper, in this case a large piece of brown packaging paper (100 cm x 75 cm). Second session on pastel techniques, this time used for model sketching. Not particularly satisfied with the result, but still, here it is. Portret & model-tekenen/schilderen, gericht op het toepassen van aardkleuren pastelkrijt op bruin pakpapier.

Soft pastels

Life drawing and painting, focused on applying soft pastels in small patches of different shades of colour with the broad side of the pastel (in the style of Cézanne) on grey carton. I progressed very slowly picking suitable shades of colour, resulting in a very much unfinished portrait. I tend never to continue with or rework art class material afterwards, just leaving it as it turned out during class as a reminder of that particular session. Model: Yvonne. Portret & model-tekenen/schilderen, gericht op het toepassen van pastelkrijt in kleine kleurvlakken met de platte kant van het krijt (à la Cézanne) op grijs karton.
