I finished my first pastel painting! Woo hoo!!
The 'canvas' is pressed, recycled particle board of some sort (it's my sketchbook), and I used Sennelier extra soft pastels throughout. I found the hand remarkably challenging, especially in achieving a skin tone I was happy with. I started out dark, which is why the skin tone is more Negroid than Caucasoid, even though it's MY hand.
