Monthly Challenge

Something different this week
working from someone elses's photo.

This is an interesting challenge...
it might take you out of you comfort zone
but I also find it easier to be objective.

A secondary challenge 
comes from the medium itself.
Paints such as acrylics 
are very consistent in smoothness
whereas pastel can very widely.
Although I work with a variety of brands
I find the darks and deep blues 
to be quite gritty and hard.
It's much more difficult 
to get those luscious textures 
one usually associates with pastel.
