30 in 30 Challenge: Piece #8

Here is piece #8 for the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. This one was made using pastels on toned pastel paper. Technically pastel is considered a painting medium, although I always though of it as drawing. But they consider it painting, so painting it is! It's been a few years since I've used pastels, literally since 2009. I used pencils because I hate using the sticks (specially charcoal sticks). It's just too messy and I always leave finger prints and smudges everywhere. With the pencils I can get more fine details and if I need to cover large areas I use q-tips to spread the color around. This is one of my favorite pieces I've made so far in the challenge.


I cant believe there's only 20 more paintings left!
