Portrait of a Missionary
This portrait in pastel is 12x17 on light grey mi-teintes (smooth side). The reference photo was shot (sorry, I don't have it posted) by a window, hence the very bright highlight. This young man is a missionary, so I made the background rather heavenly. It looks great close up and in person, but from far away, it looks weird. This tells me the values are off. Suggestions are very welcome. Praise is worthy of payment.
