FIGURE DRAWING – AN EXERCISE IN CALM CONTEMPLATION

Here are two 20-minute pastel portraits. I set up my palette in complementary colors. On the left is an example of the red/green palette. On the right is orange/blue. A limited palette can capture and communicate the features even under very different lighting conditions.
