Working on Corrine at Troy 111 Studio with Jody Burton,Joanne Radmilovich Kollman and Harriett

I continued to work on my pastel on Corrine even tho everyone else does oils.  But it was great to see them work and how good they came out or in the process.

Corrine pastel study from Troy studio 11

Well I started this at the Troy Studio 11 with Joanne Radmilovich Kollman and then didn't have time to finish because I'm a slow poke . I took it home and worked on it some more. I think it could be more extreme and that might be fun to explore.
