The Ranch Hand - original oil pastel portrait by Connie Chadwell


This was a very interesting guy and great model - hope we see him again at another portrait session.
I drew this on 20 x 16" Canson Mi-Teintes mat board - not the paper, but the board - and I love the patterned surface. It seems to help keep my drawing loose - not that that's really a problem for me (maybe just the opposite), but it does give a casual, less studied look.
Thank you for visiting my blog!
