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.
