This is a 'class project' of a mixed media piece utilizing mainly soft pastels! I haven't used my pastels in easily 20 years but I found them, claimed them and had a lot of fun with them. I am calling this work- The Church Ladies. From the pictures, you can see that we started out gluing down the basic shapes and working from there. Pastels can be soft and gentle or wild and emotive. We were encouraged to be wild and emotive. Leaving marks raw and exposed is something I love, love, love, to do! This is not one of my 'series' pieces, but I had fun working on it. It was a great exercise.
