I did this one on grey toned paper - Strathmore -working with some General's compressed pastels - black, white, sanguine, sepia - that I found while going through my supplies. (Oh, the stuff I haven't even uncovered yet!) I really enjoyed sketching with them. They will work beautifully on a more finished drawing, too, but I love leaving things a little raw. Thanks for looking!

Leaving it raw is so "artsy" and honestly the way most people like it. I like the sketch and just the splashes of colors on her face!!! Beautiful work, Connie...
This one really works, so much feeling in those eyes, and the touch of colour is masterful. First class, Connie, wonderful work.
You really know how to make portraits come to life without ever overworking it, great work on yes and lips.
This is nice Connie. I really think less is more in most things..
It's much easier to ruin a good piece by over-working rather than under-working it. imho :)
Stunning! xoxo
