I am in awe of folks who can command such wonderful control over pastels. I tend to overwork and smoosh things a bit much. LOL Now, back to those older posts...oh and have a wonderful Canada Day holiday weekend!Teresa Mallenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978596700598817430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-62425238496488007312011-06-29T19:38:17.911-02:302011-06-29T19:38:17.911-02:30very intense real looking eyes :Dvery intense real looking eyes :DJennifer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528908250338974537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-72075657520447010012011-06-28T21:15:17.381-02:302011-06-28T21:15:17.381-02:30this is coming along beautifully! i start with the...this is coming along beautifully! i start with the eyes and build around them too! i figure they are the most important part and if they work the rest will fall into place. lovely work!suzanneberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702748663139114422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-89834495207661884132011-06-28T15:29:31.176-02:302011-06-28T15:29:31.176-02:30Thank you Sadami.

Same principle as the study just on a larger scale.<br /><br />I haven't tried stretching this type of paper previously. But I'm going to have a try with it now you've mentioned it. It never occurred to me previously to be honest.<br /><br />Vivien, that seems to be the logical point as the eyes really are the focal point, aren't they?Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-28336633813605532012011-06-28T06:31:23.107-02:302011-06-28T06:31:23.107-02:30looking good :>)

Have you ever tried to stretch coloured pastel paper in the same way as you stretch watercolour paper? I have done it for years, and it gives you the flexibility of being able to use watercolour, gouache and pastel on one picture. It works so well! Good luck with the progress of your coyote, I look forward to the finished picture!!Barbara Philiphttp://www.silvermere.africanpainting.comnoreply@blogger.com
