- Pastel portrait of a Scottish gentleman
Pastel portrait painting 12 inches x 17 inches
Yea! I made it to my portrait drawing class today — even in blizzard like conditions! This model has posed for us in the past. He always comes in full Scottish garb and his interesting face that makes for a wonderful pastel portrait.
I used my set of Terry Ludwig pastels for the first time and I really like them. They are extremely soft, but their wide, square shapes make it easier to loosen up and work in a more painterly fashion. Plus, it was enlightening to be forced to use a palette that I wasn't familiar with. Thank you to the Pastel Society of North Florida for giving them to me as an award!
