Welcome to Pastel Strokes July 2009!
I'll be hosting the Strokes for this month, and hopefully you will find one of the photos an interesting challenge for you.
Those who have participated in previous months already know the guidelines. For all newbies to this monthly challenge, they are as follows:
* An individual volunteering to host the monthly project proposes to a guide or a moderator a new photo reference near the beginning of the month. (We need hosts for the coming months, if you'd like to host let us know!
Click here to go to the hosting thread.)
* The guide or moderator approves the host and reference photo(s) and the selected host posts the project in Pastel Talk and also a thread in the Soft Pastel Studio with a link to the Pastel Talk project.
* Interested participants create a painting from the photo(s) and upload it to this thread for viewing and discussion.
* The image may be cropped, rearranged, and interpreted in any manner! Use different effects in your software program and try painting something different, tweak the color, add or subtract things.
* You may paint as many versions and as many photos as you like, and they may be any size.
Most of all, let's have fun painting!

Sidney Pollack, my favorite director
I had a hard time getting any kind of likness. I used photoshop to manip a little after uploading, but still not very close. May try again. Thank you for hosting
