Pretty in Pink
I had the pleasure recently of painting this lovely little girl. Isn’t she a doll? There’s many details in this pastel, so I tried to keep it fresh and painterly with some blurred edges and lively strokes amongst the patterns, and highlights of the model. From the viewer’s perspective, the little girl is absorbed into her book, so I wanted to create a sense of innocence and quietness too.
I really enjoyed using my pastels and pastel pencils (sharpened to the tiniest point!) on the 11” x 14” pastel on panel. It’s a great size for any home, because it is not too large nor too small. It will fit in any little area and would be a terrific size also to group with other portraits of the same size.
