Delighted Soul

Pastel
16x20

This is one of my favorite beautiful models. The daughter of my friend, and an artist herself, she just sings when it comes to taking her picture for a drawing. It really isn't even the photo that just jumps and says 'Here I am', it is the magic that happens when I draw her.

I did this drawing in pastel because Master thought it ws time to try that media again. I have to say I'm very proud of it. I've taken oil painting classes, and color classes since my first tries with pastel and I think I finally got a grip on how to build the color I wanted. For me this is another reason I find this drawing very special.
