[QUOTE="ReD, post: 212972, member: 3779"] Thought I’d have a go at a Pastel sketch as a change from photography. The attempt after so many years was such a disappointment that I immediately went out and bought gouache paints. The Pastel drawing remains unfinished & insipid on paper. The gouache paint box is unopened at the moment. Last night I tried a few photos of the pastel drawing & re- tweaked it – A crop helped then after some more adjustments it brought more detail out & gave me another viewpoint I hadn’t thought of to maybe start another drawing. Truth be told I’m now more inclined to print & hang the photo than the original “artwork” in all its insipid glory - it will still need a bit more work before printing though. Lessons learned [LIST=1] [*]Don’t exclude any medium. [*]Photography can & does help [*]Always experiment [*]Digital costs less [/LIST] [CENTER][url=https://flic.kr/p/rnpqkH][ATTACH=full]107631[/ATTACH] Pastel Detail 1[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/people/128879958@N06/]roger-evans[/url], on Flickr[/CENTER] [IMG]http://[url=https://flic.kr/p/rnpqkH][img]https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8650/16651135071_969190002c_b.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
