Woman Reclining--Pastel, 5x5 on paper
Lesson learned here? Fixative is my friend whom I will entertain often! I really struggled with this but am pleased with the result. It was a good value study. Now I need to get in gear to meet Karen Jurick's next deadline.

Zen Challenge - 5x7 pastel on paper
This was a submission for the "Different Strokes from Different Folks" blog. The photo I worked from was very high contrast with little color. The challenge was a bit daunting..... but it's always fun when you are pleasantly surprised by the outcome!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Upside Down Exercise
Check out a relatively new blog.... differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com
It is facilitated by Karin Jurick (see her website link under "my favorites"). Every week she posts a new challenge. It is fun to see different interpretations of the same material.
This weeks post was painted upside down to help focus on shapes/value, not things. Very useful!
