 | Back to the background! Will I.... won't I.... I will! I carry the orange through. I must now include some of this colour elsewhere in the painting as well as in the background.
I check to see how it will look with the mat around it. |
| Close up of Sophie's face at this stage. |  |
 | These are all the pastels I selected as the work progressed. Included are some Schminkes, Windsor & Newton, Art spectrum, Holbein and some contes. I find the contes great for blending over the very soft pastels, rather than using my fingers or a stump. |
| I'm finishing off the skin tones using some pink variations, and lightening the highlights. The purple sheets go in, and I add some variation to the background using the same purples and blues from the sheets. |  |
 | I've almost put Sophie to bed now, and I've a feeling this painting just might work out. (I never really know until the end!) Final details go in, and I use the lightest colours in my chosen palette to bring the skin to life. |
