Just Clowning Around - Final

First off, I need to apologize to you!
I realized I never posted my final of my last painting.  I made a few corrections to the neck muscle area, signed it and now it's finished.

Silly Hat - Update 4

Phew, getting this kind of detail in this small a painting is a challenge for my skill and eyesight!
I have learned a lot from creating this painting.  I've learned how to start a painting by blocking in colors.  I learned that with Pastel, it works better to start with the darkest darks and transition to the lights.  I've also learned that my darkest darks need to be darker to start with!
I'm at the point now where I think I need to put this away for a couple days before I look at it again and see if anything needs adjusting.

Thanks for stopping by!

Did you ever start something and lose complete track of time?  Well, I did that today!  I sat down and worked on my painting for three hours first thing this morning.
I'm really liking how this is coming along and it's so much fun!  So, there goes three hours.

Then I noticed some things that needed to be corrected with this.  So, I sat down for just a few minutes......two hours later.....

Now I really need to get the chores done that need doing LOL!
I hope you are having a fantastic day!
Thanks for stopping by :)

I've started on  my Ampersand 5 x 7 pastel painting.  So far, I'm completing the background and blocking in the body structure and shadows.
I'm liking how this is going so far.
Hope you will enjoy the process as much as I do!
So far I'm using Rembrandt Pastel rounds.

Two paintings

I couldn't decide between two pictures so I'm doing them both.  One will be on Ampersand Pastel Board and the other one will be on Mi-Teintes Pastel Paper.  They are both going to be smaller than I've done before.  They are both 5 x 7.  They will both be done starting with Rembrandt and moving onto Faber Castell Pastel PITT pencils for the details.
Today I got the drawings completed and transferred.  Tomorrow I will start working on them.  Wish me luck!
