Here is a sample of what I do - 20 minute wonders. This girl was 16 going on 30. I need your fresh eyes and viewpoints. I use 60 lb paper, soft pastels, and finish with Conte Paris pencils. I do the washy blends with flexible fabric bandaid! (Anyone else ever do that?) A bit unorthodox, but I started using them out of necessity. My fingertips were wearing off! Then I found FFs, and my style was completely re-invented.
