The handling is giving me insight for handling pastel and oil paint, I think.Bob Lafondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085582734443199505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-851053790770559247.post-49146458644390254322013-01-20T22:08:15.842-05:002013-01-20T22:08:15.842-05:00Eden, Thanks for your comment.

That's what I am trying to do - use my pencil sketches and memory instead of a photo reference. It's been interesting ; )Eden Compton Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408901151410400904noreply@blogger.com
