Little Boy at the Beach
This pastel painting was based on an image by Nadine Doerlé from Pixabay.
I used one of the assorted gray shades from my pack of Canson Mi-Teintes paper (the smooth side). I used graphite for the drawing, and pastel sticks from Blue Earth, Unison, Blick, and Sennelier.
This is the first time I’ve done a pastel of a human figure.
