Earth Mother


Medium: Soft Pastels
Paper: A2 Lightly Textured 180 gsm paper
Duration: 3-4 hours
This is a fairly quick soft pastel sketch I drew in tribute to that great western artist Howard Terpning. I’ve always loved his portraits of life in the wild west and especially how he used the native peoples of North America as his subjects.

Can you explain your methods used to produce something like this? I love your use of layers, shadows, etc. Trying to get into pastel work :) If you could drop me an email at Elrondelrealm@gmail.com
