Experimental Colors

I love experimenting with color. It is an approach I use to help me see different facial elements, bone structure, high lights and low lights. Sometimes, the color schemes work, and sometimes they don’t… it is all about a process of building ones relationship with colors. the below works are all soft pastel compositions on toned paper 18″x 24″

This was as far as I got with this portrait, from life, pastel study.

It is a privilege to have a relationship with color, it is the most important relationship in my life that I am consistently nurturing…
