Ever since I had a painting rejected at the SWA membership art show, I have been practicing my portraiture. Back to the old drawing board, literally. I have drawn and drawn and I'm still drawing. I still could use some practice. Some improvement. Couldn't we all. These portraits are of the exchange students I have been working with. I used pastels because they are fast and smooth. Pure pigment on paper. Vanessa is from Germany. Victoria is from Sweden. Kristine is from Norway. It's a shame after getting to know them this past year that it's now almost time to say good-bye to them. They are sweet kids.
