Summer salsa, waiting to happen.
This piece is the first (and only!) pastel painting I have ever done, aside from a smaller pastel commission immediately following. I completed it as a junior in high school, and I fell in love with the instant ability to deposit pure color into the drawing. It was the perfect medium for a painting of summer heat and flavor.
But I also felt frustrated with the huge soft pastels which made it so difficult to achieve the level of detail I wanted in a painting, and once I discovered oil paint I didn't pick up pastels again. But now I am discovering a need for spontaneity in my art, and to get my hands deeper into the process. So it will likely be just a matter of time before pastel makes a reappearance.
Original Artwork Details:
Size: 13" x 20"
Medium: soft pastel on primed board
Artwork is shipped flat and unframed.
