Tamzin with the Cowboy Hat
Pastel on Brown Paper
At the beginning of December I went on a pastel portrait course with Tom McKendrick in
A House for an art Lover, Glasgow.
It was a beautiful venue for an art course and the teaching was inspiring.
This was the first time I've used dry pastels and the first time I've actually completed a colour portrait as my attempts in the past have ended up in the bin.
The resource was a photo I'd taken a few years ago.
My girls, with a hint or two from me, have given me money for pastels as my Christmas present and I'm so looking forward to going to Glasgow to spend it in a new art shop there.
Here's a photo of Tom McKendrick with his wonderful portraits of soldiers.

I'm guessing dry pastels are the same as soft pastel ...! Good for you ... change your art making up with this class and doing portraits as a challenge. Lovely portrait here with the red cowboy hat. Enjoy your purchases!!
