New Work: Corals Emerging, pastel on sanded paper, 22 3/4 x 17

Corals Emerging  pastel on sanded paper, 22 3/4 x 17

This is a demonstration pastel that I did during my last Making it Fine Art Workshop for the Pikes Peak Pastel Society, Colorado Springs, CO. View the pastel page

The plan was to make a good start and keep things loose - not go into a pictorial approach. While I was working it, I asked the group to call out colors to use. It worked out to be a nice combination of colors, patterns and interesting edges.

I'm considering doing an oil demo of this same image in this weeks Workshop at my home / studio this weekend.
