10x15 Canson Mi-Tientes PaperSometimes when you're working from a photo, you have to take a little artistic license and adjust it a bit. This photo had a fairly large tree right in the middle of the picture that I felt was a little distracting. There were also several more chairs, pretty much tossed into each other like you might find when people are finished eating and leave their chairs about. I thought it pretty much looked like a jumbled mess, so I took a few of them out as well. Anyway, this is the finished result. My third pastel--I'm liking pastel a lot, but have yet to attempt a portrait.

Lookin good! How'd you get all the detail? What types of pastels are you using? I scrapped my last attemp, but restarted it - another portrait. I also bought a larger piece of Mi-Tientes paper, so I'm going to go bigger. I still haven't tried the sandpaper. Too many things!
