I've mainly tacked some (usually old) pencil sketches to the end of posts - there are a couple in one I dedicated entirely to Sulamith Wulfing which will also give you more examples of her work:<br /> http://sharonssunlitmemories.blogspot.ie/2012/04/art-of-sulamith-wulfing.html <br />As you once mentioned you like representations of fabric you might also like to see this:<br />http://sharonssunlitmemories.blogspot.ie/2011/06/dorelle-south-of-equator.html<br />From early childhood I've found the women's dresses in these images incredibly compelling. At the end of that post is a pencil sketch I did of my grandmother as a child - possibly a bit staid but deliberately so!<br />I also quite enjoy it when something turns out differently to what I intended - having the two images as a work in progress is a nice idea - it was interesting to see how the second image had evolved and what changes you decided to make.<br /> sharonssunlitmemorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817837936506262964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969275791981250787.post-56659240315411944952013-04-04T12:37:22.397+01:002013-04-04T12:37:22.397+01:00Thanks for the encouragement Sharon, I know I need...Thanks for the encouragement Sharon, I know I need to work on this kind of thing of bit harder. I know what you mean about pastels being tricky, I find the drawing finer detail difficult with a something about the size of your finger, you can kinda hone an edge on the pastel, working in a single direction helps too, such as top to bottom because you can concentrate on one edge. Still they're great fun, this one didn't turn out anything like I expected but I quite like that aspect, it reminds me of more naive times when small achievements meant so much. I remember Sulamith Wulfing from that Xmas posting of yours, what a fantastically sublime artist. It would be interesting to see some of your work, have you posted anything of yours on your blog?DeadSpiderEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687178085803686186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969275791981250787.post-43805163989405248832013-04-03T21:33:02.761+01:002013-04-03T21:33:02.761+01:00I like it - especially the luminous quality you ha...I like it - especially the luminous quality you have given the skin. I find pastels almost impossible to use - but I think that is mainly because I am left handed and tend to smear my work. The big eyes and dreamy quality remind me a bit of Sulamith Wulfing.sharonssunlitmemorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817837936506262964noreply@blogger.com
