Pastel Portrait - still a work in progress

 
Still working on the pastel portrait - compare to the last post. I have darkened the darks and since doing that I have lost the vivid highlights so I will work next week on brightening the highlights again. I  do think that I am beginning to capture the "volume" in the face. I still need to work on the shadows in the nubby scarf on her head. Of course,  the background hasn't been worked at all so the grid lines will disappear once I begin to fill in the background.
This has been a super class, wonderful teacher-artist, Deb Richardson, and great fellow class members who work really hard on their own pieces as well as being able to give very observant and constructive critique. In a few weeks we are going to bring our cameras to class and work on photography of models (each other in the class) and get tips from Deb  on what works and what doesn't work when photographing a model.
