This piece is one I'm really enjoying. Since soft pastel causes eye and throat irritation for me, I tried having a small fan blowing across the paper, then vacuumed up the dust. Maybe that'll work. The pleasure for me in this figurative, which is being done from a photo, is that there are many lines in it - unfortunately, some will have to be covered, but I'll cope. Hoping to finish it this weekend. The support is Pastelbord in sand , 11 x 14". Thanks for stopping by!

Love the subject and it is coming along really well !
This is such a nice subject Connie. Very nicely painted. I've been lucky until now that pastels don't bother me too much. I try to be careful with the dust, shaking most of it outside. I wear a mask "sometimes" but I find it uncomfortable especially when my eyeglasses fog up because I have to breathe!!!! Lol
Well, Hilda, I'm so glad you're not bothered by pastel dust - your work is so wonderful, I would hate to think
you would have to abandon this medium! Had to laugh at the mask remedy, which I guess isn't a remedy at all. Anyway, so happy to see you here!
Thank you, Jane - great seeing you here!
