Sheine Mae and Jelyn - Stage One

First, I used a charcoal pencil on a 12" X 16" sheet of pinkish-grey Canson Mi Tientes pastel paper to sketch out the basic elements. I chose the paper color based on the dominant color of the wood panels of the door and walls of the house; which would form a large part of the background in the finished painting.

I really like this piece. I believe that it represents friendship of females which is a strong part of our mold and how we develop. When i feel down sometimes I think of best friends that I had when I was young and the crazy or silly things we did and I feel better.

Yeah! Sheine Mae and Jelyn are very close - and it shows in this initial sketch. When I get back on leave, I might concentrate on some charcoal drawings like this and just leave them as sketches, instead of trying to turn them into finished pastels?

I don't know, it's just that I quite often like the preliminary charcoal sketches more than the finished pastel paintings!!

Thanks for you comments and feed-back. All much appreciated! :)
