Portraits

Picture
"George Clooney" oil pastel
I started this oil pastel as a demonstration of that medium for the Artist Workshop of Western Sonoma County (AWS). The material has particular challenges, and I thought a portrait would be a good subject to convey some of the tricks and techniques I have learned. The fun thing for me about this piece is the crazy colors that blend optically from a distance into flesh tone, something that Chuck Close is the absolute master of.
