An example of living and learning, I find the inexactitude of oil pastels frustrating, but then I could have worked this more by scraping back, using thinners and using other media. However, my proportions on the body are right and I'm happy with that. The picture behind the model really caught my attention, done by a first year student and although the limbs are exaggerated there is still proportion and great beauty in the lines. The subject obviously caught my attention too. I was completely daunted by the model's geometric sixties dress to start with but I just got in about it and was fine. A major problem was that the dress was black and white and I don't like using black, but the purple works well, and is still very sixties. I was happier with the treatment of the blue cloth, so it looks like working layer over layer works well.
