Beth,

I just went through William Whitaker's demo. Wow. You're right, this photo would be a great start into this technique. The full photo has 11 people in it. One great aunt in particular would really make a good subject. I started in pastels but have never used the NuPastel. Drawing is my first love, but I also like detail and soft pastels are best when working loose.

I feel a trip to the art supply store coming on.

I'll post my efforts.
