It was good to relax on Thursday morning and just do some painting. The first image is the finished version of a portrait painted with Conte pastels on Blue Winsor pastel paper. Interestingly, the second image is the same painting, half-finished. Taken by a better photographer than me, and the colours have been boosted a little, it was at this stage that I thought about stopping. To me the unfinished painting has much more energy.
The final image is a clip of a painting done during the life-drawing session on Monday. It just serves to illustrate how effective the blue background is when painting portraits.
