"John the Farmer" pastel on Canson paper

John the Farmer
John was our model for today and he arrived with overalls hat and pitch fork (actually it was a manure fork but I would not know the difference, it looked good to me!)  Since there was a lot going on, I decided to work larger.  Using a 19.5" x 25.5" sheet of Canson warm grey paper I sketched it out and started work today and this is as far as I got.   I knew that I would be working on it for two sessions so I did not pressure myself to finish.   I will work on it next week and probably have the "fork" and more of his upper body.  Since it is not finished, it is not for sale yet.

Your warm gray paper really works well with the colors in this painting. Love the shadow colors and his gesture--have fun during session II.
