Pastel on 580 x 410 mm Colourfix suede

Portrait of my late Grandfather. He was always inventing and finding ways to do things on the property my mother grew up on. They then moved, and he did the same on the property where he spent his last moments. It has been nine years now since both my  grandfathers went to be with Jesus.

This one is soft pastel on  Canson Tex Paper. I did do this one before I did the puppy. This was the first time I used this paper, and I love it. It allows me to put more pastel down without spraying workable fixative on it.

I started this painting with pastel on a canvas, and then put acrylic on the top. I think I work better in pastel though.
