Pastel Feet on the Rocks

About 10 p.m. I decided to get away from TV and sketch.  I looked through some photos to find some more feet for the February prompts:  ocean, feet, and top.  I found a photo of  David.   He was standing on a rock taking photos of the rest of the bunch that were water rafting in Taos a few years ago.  I cropped off his feet and there you go.

This is on the wiped off blue paper again.  I sketched with a variety of soft pastels.  It was about an hour from wipe off to finish.  I see things I would change, but an hour is pretty long at this time of night.

 


I left the dirty paper showing and didn't fiddle with it.  Fun to play in the dust!

Those are some good feet. The jeans are my favorite, though.

Joan, thanks. I found different feet I liked but I liked the challenge of the blue on the jeans.

bag blog, thank you. Cloth and drapery are a challenge. My great teacher in La Paz, Yolanda Aguirre, told me for transparent things, and anything really, to just paint the light and dark and don't worry about what it is. When I really concentrate on that it is always a fun surprise to see what actually comes out from that.
