Steven,
Piped me at the post! I was about to see if I could move this thread. Cynthia, many thanks.
When I posted this piece I didn't know what to expect. I posted it into the Unveilings Forum section to ease me into it.
The whole process at the moment is quite a curve. My only goal for this painting was to see if I was still able. I had completed 7-8 drawings prior to this (two of which I have just posted to the drawings Forum). My next pastel has had a little more thought in to the initial design/composition stage. I added a little bit more to the image I posted, especially a lighter area and a softening to the left/top of her head. This helped to pull the eye back up from the bottom of the painting.
I suppose at this point in time, I am trying to establish where my work sits in relation to other works and therefore pricing in relation to my local/regional market. These first steps are quite tentative and hopefully with a little more work my confidence will grow.
Looking forward to your input.
Kevin
