April




A pastel I just finished of a former student. I'm pretty happy with it, especially that I did it in about 20 hours - which is fast for me. Last year, April was one of my most talented art students.

Thanks for looking!

pastel on paper, approx. 19 1/2" X 24 1/2".

Mischa, I bought a bunch of paper three years ago and I can't remember what brand of paper this is. But I can tell you it is 50cm X 70cm. ( about 19 3/4 X 27 5/8" ) It is a sanded surface and comes in many colors - I used the black one. It comes with about 1 cm ( 1/2" ) of white border...so if any of you pastel masters out there recognize these specs... do share!

Mischa, thanks for your nice response. It means a lot.

David
