Little smudges

Hi Mary -

I'll give it a little smudge. There's a lot more nit-picking I could do with this, but I don't have the time to fiddle with it much. I also confirmed to myself that I need do a lot more drawing practice.

I've definitely learned about pastels from this -

I used Colorfix pastel paper and the tooth didn't hold up in places. Had to spray fixative over those areas to get some traction. Next time I will try to get to the store that has the Wallis paper.

I also learned that it is better to get all the darks as right as possible the first time, because when I went back into them do corrections, the dust fell into the light areas and then I had to do those parts all over again.

Next time, I will place a cloth on the floor and cover up the keyboard. I am not one of those artists who never gets a smudge on anything. It gets all over the clothes, on the face, on any surface nearby.....
