Here's a pastel pencil drawing that I did some time ago, using a very limited palette of Caran d'Ache pencils. At that time, I only had a few of this brand that I was trying out and since they - unlike most pastels, even in pencil form - didn't make me sneeze, get in my eyes and just generally make me feel itchy, I've acquired a nice collection of Caran d'Ache. Most likely, how I use pastels is the problem, but since I'm mainly an oil pastelist, problem solved! This was a pretty quick drawing - don't remember how long - but I was mainly interested in the satiny strap over her shoulder. It's on toned paper, 12 x 9". Thanks for visiting!

Lovely drawing, the strap over her shoulder adds a delicate touch to the mood on her face.
A beautiful pastel pencil drawing, Connie. I love the limited color palette... What I also love is that you didn't finish the drawing... it made it more interesting....
Thank you for visiting and for your nice comment - so glad you like the strap - that caught my eye the most on her outfit.
