This one took a little longer, the buildings are more complicated. But overall, still under an hour. It's fun to draw reasonably quickly and not worry so much about all the specific details.
I've been trying out some 30-45 minutes drawings lately, just to loosen up.
Latest pastel painting; first time using sanded paper. A little rough on the fingers! but I liked the way it worked. Based on a study from Rocking Gently by Poucher.
Doing faces still continues to be a struggle

Most difficult piece yet from art class, but I'm learning!
Pair of koi; practising with pastel
Finished up the 1st drawing from the art class.
More practice before the first class.
Trying out the new pastels!
First try with pastels, before drawing class.
First attempt at a sunset
A mixture of pastel pencil and charcoal.
Trying out the pastels with black paper to see the effects.
