This piece is called "Wo Sind Wir?" or "Where Are We?" I've used a technique of underpainting with the complementary color to give an area "pop". For example, the green jacket in the foreground figure was first underpainted with red, then I used green pastels rubbed lightly over the surface so the background color shows through. This painting is 12" x 16" and is on Wallis paper. It won an honorable mention in the Fall 2008 Piedmont Pastel Society Show juried by Maggie Price.
"Baguette Brunch" was an exercise in doing a portrait. It is 9" x 12" and was painted on Ampersand Pastel Board.
