Miss Detroit sketch finished

This sketch is complete. This gives me a colour scheme and an overall feel to work with for the larger pastel. Details like panel line (indications), fleshing out the figures will need to be done. I'll have to get my son to pose for some of the images I think.

Another sale on Fine Art America

My John Lennon print sold yesterday to a buyer from Arizona who ordered a glossy canvas version of this print. http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/norbert-lisinski.html

An update with the figures started. I almost overlooked the fact that I should portray them in shorts and shirtless to go with a tropical theme. I will need to flesh out the figures in the oil pastel as it will be around 25" wide so the figures will be much larger than they are here. This painting is 14.5" x 8.75"

Miss Detroit Update

Some further progress, slow but steady.

Miss Detroit Acrylic sketch WIP

Here is an in-progress shot of an acrylic colour sketch to work out the colour scheme. I've got a long way to go on this yet, but before I start on a large piece of pastel paper it's safer for me to have something to work by.

Handel in pencil completed

I finished the Handel piece in pencil, now it's on to the colour version on pastel.

Handel WIP

An in-progress pencil drawing to work out the values for another pastel. This one will complement my recent Bach pastel piece, it will be done in oil pastels on Canson Mi-Teintes pastel paper. This will depict Handel in his composition room.
