[2024 Contest] Blanche Dreams
Oil pastels plus colored pencils on 30x40cm Pastelmat
The cat, my sweet Blanche in deep slumber, is all oil pastels, only a white and grey pencils used for sharp hairs and whiskers at the end.
The background is two layers of Sennelier applied with a brush, then colored pencils and then another layer of Sennelier with a brush to finish.
Extended Indian wedding celebrations meant I had to work like a mad man to complete this in 36 hours after the reception, including a continuous 24-hour session! A first for me, but I'm glad to have done it. Took a nap and finally edited the image on my monitor and needed to correct the white balance.
