Love in his Hands

There were a lot of first with this.  I broke out my new Rembrandt Pastel Sticks for this painting.  I also did a human for the first time in pastels.  Most of this was done with the Rembrandt's but I did use the PITT Pastel Pencil for a few areas. 

I ended up painting this on the right side of the paper but up till now, I've flipped the paper over and used the wrong side.  I think I'll definitely go back to the wrong side unless I really want the waffle look for texture.

I've signed this but after seeing it on here, it's not done!

Hope you enjoy!
