A couple of pastels

[P. Barrie]

Pastel pencils and medium hard pastels on gessoed hardboard
16” x 12”
From photos on posespace. The second one I made the background from my head, which I’m not very good at.

Excellent work!

Nice use of pastel. I can't imagine working that small with the medium.

 

[Artyczar]

Really nice work!

 

[Trier]

I am impressed with strong modeling effect in both from the excellent shading. Instructive to me.

Lovely work Patrick

P. Barrie, beautiful work!

 

[P. Barrie]

Thanks everyone. The photo poses I chose were stiff, which fits my stiff approach on these. Not at all like drawing from a live model.

I find them both extraordinary,
you have created fantastic figures, the first maybe I like a little more but I find them both beautiful

 

[P. Barrie]

Joe, thank you, glad you like them

Great job, Patrick!
