Thanks for that Lisa! I've been admiring your work since you got here and it's incredible. And how quickly you work blows my mind!

Honestly the only parts I really like now are her face and hands. But it has been a great experience working on this one. Too tied up in it since it's of grandma I think.

You know I really think the only reason I could get all these details in such a small space is because of the paper. It's kind of like suede, it may be velour but I don't know. I have to go back to the art store and find out. It has such a neat surface that really holds the pastel right where you put it. If it was on any other paper I'm sure I would've ended up with a muddy mess!
