This is another recent pastel piece I did. Certainly a different subject matter for me, but one that I found interesting. This was done using hard and soft pastels on gray Mi-Teintes paper. I had a lot of fun working the smoke field in the background and the mass of gear the men are wearing provided a number of different textures to try and capture. There is just something I find very appealing in laying down the impressionistic slashes of color that make up their heavy coats. This one was just a heck of a lot of fun to paint.
