Final Project work in progress

working on the bigger pastel composition. Need to go back to the water colour and do something to the background. bit stuck on that. Needs something, but dont want to overpower.

This is the pastel drawing I started on this morning. I coloured in the back ground later on, but I'm thinking it looks better left alone.
Been doing the one on brown paper this morning


not finished, although im quite liking it how it is. might just do a little more.

More Final / tutor led project work : wild flowers in pastels - W.I.P.!



Drawing some wild flowers in vase, using pastels. Bit stressful as the pic was meant to be a carefree, fast drawing but it has not been that at all! started off being a bit careful and have just got more and more painstaking! Using oil pastels (and one or two wax crayons) on brown paper. Will continue to add flowers but keep taking photos just in case all goes pear shaped...  this is prob approx a3?? big bigger maybe .



 To have a brief respite I have mocked up a bedroom in the flowers! Bit OTT (who would have matching bed, lamps , blind................) but its fun!!!
