Sydney in Central Park



Sydney in Central Park 
May 2013

This is the progression of my painting; Sydney in Central Park.  (Yes she is adorable and one of five of our beautiful grandchildren).  After a rough sketch, I laid in complementary colors to give depth to the final painting.  I then washed them leaving drips here and there.  Then I began layering the pastel to get my final work.  The nice thing about the wash is that when you scrub off the layered pastel, the washed in complimentary colors are set and allow you to let them shine through or reapply over them.
