Jillian

This was my first Pastel Portrait done back in '84 of my youngest daughter Jillian. I had a book by Dennis Frost, Capturing Personality in Pastel, which was both inspirational and informative. His instructions enabled me to do the painting and I would highly recommend the book, especially to aspiring pastel portrait artists.

C.P. Portrait


My New Year goal for 2009 is to finish this colored pencil portrait. Back in 2003 I attended a colored pencil workshop in Fredericksburg Texas taught by Ann Kullburg, a self taught artist whom I had the pleasure of meeting.
