Kelly on Ice-my first custom panel




Hi all!

Yes, this is Kelly again. For this one I have (like an idiot) kept the very detailed jacket. I have cooled down the color quite a bit so I avoid my orange tendencies. I also felt it matched the expression on her face to make the whole thing more icey.

At the suggestion of Sharon Knettell and Jean Kelly I have made my own pastel panel for the first time and this is my first attempt on it. I may have overdone the texture a we bit since I am now missing a fingerprint on my pinky. I love having control of the texture of the panel however. Thanks so much, Sharon and Jean!

I must admit this is practice only but I would greatly appreciate any problems or pitfalls you see so I don't make mistakes with clients. My intent for this was mainly to figure out how to apply the pastel ground, get used to the custom board, and attempt to cool my colors.

I apologize for the many photos but I want you to be able to see the texture. I just love it (or the lack of it).

Rembrandt and Nu-Pastels on masonite primed with Golden's ground for pastel. 24 X 36.

I thank you in advance for your input.
