Figures – 12″ x 18″ Pastel on Paper
I created a series like this using conte crayons previously. This time I’m working on pastels and trying to learn and experiment with different color combinations. I’ll probably do 5 more, but this is enough for now… working with pastels is too messy.
I submitted this to IMT challenge this week…“Series”.
I love this! I love the way you have repeated the hands theme throughout the series. Also love the colours and shading.
I know what you mean about working with pastels though! They seem to end up everywhere by the end of it!
Keep up the fantastic work!
These are very exciting…the hands are wonderful and the cropping of the figures makes me feel like I’m peeking at them during private moments. The colors…wow! My favorite is the middle woman on the lime green background.
These are fabulous! I again just love your style! Brandi
Wonderful style!…very intense! Love the colors…even though they are very bright…they are sad.
This is beautiful, I love your use of colour, your work reminds me a little of Gaugin’s.
I love the colors! This series has great visual impact. Your boldness is inspiring in and of itself. A beautiful series!
Hands are wonderful and you have really captured moments in time. Love to be able to work with pastels. Fabulous Judy x

the hands express the feelings, and this art speaks in hand language! I love it!

I like how the hands express the emotions and state of mind of each subject.
