Self Portrait in Chalks
Another Self Portrait, well the sitter was readily available!
I decided to add colour to the charcoal drawings I have been doing recently and pastels seemed to be the answer as they can also be treated with a loose feel.
I really struggled with this one as working in a mirror face on is I found more difficult than a three-quarter view.
I started with a mid toned grey paper -Daler-Rowney Rose Grey, Murano pastel paper and working at night in artificial light it soon became rather moody as many layers went on.
