I played in the pastel dust a little today. Cross posted the sketch and setup in the Art From Life Forum, Scavenger Hunt from Life 170. Three items from the Hunt list: empty container (oil bottle), red (apple) and garlic.
This is on wiped off Pastelbord and just about an hour from brush off to photos, 9 x 12 inches.
Setup below:
I like to look at a painting in black and white to check my values. You can see a lot of mistakes that way.
The painting/sketch was a bit darker than I planned with the dark board after the wipe off so I played with it in photoshop and changed the colors and lightness. Fun just to see how the background affects the colors.
