A guy's perspective might be helpful...Value & Color
I would appreciate any input regarding the value and color of this piece, any other comments too.
This is a photograph that I took as an impressionable art student on my way to study in Rome. This seedy character was hanging out at the train station in Luxemborg. A very lovely country, but this was not part of it. HIs image has been with me for many years and wanted to see if I could translate it into a pastel. I have really been reading a lot pertaining to value and thought this would be a good exercise. PLEASE NOTE IT IS NOT DONE YET!
So the first image is the reference photo (I know Sharon...bad photo, but great subject!)
