Waterfall. Pastel, completed May 2010.
I started this picture back in 2004 and got about as far as the charcoal underdrawing before I put it aside. One year of high school and four years of college later, I decided to pick it up, take art class again and finish it. I took some pictures of it while it was still a work in progress as much to show the progression as to convince myself I was getting somewhere with it. Now that it’s finished, it’s rather interesting to be able to look back and see the steps.
Left is the picture pre-framing, with the pastel bleeding over the edges. The framed and matted version was supposed to trim off some of this but it does a bit more than I think I would have liked. It’s currently hanging at the art studio for the end-of-year show.

nice!
Thanks!
Looks amazing!
Word of advice though: don’t upload huge pictures that take up more than my entire screen when I click them and have no way of closing them apart from closing the tab.
Whoops, fixed.
