Description
Model photographed during a trip to Peru. Model worked with pastel and pastel pencils. I like to paint elderly people with experiences and often whose lives have not been easy. My work tends towards hyperrealism and detail on the skin, most often the eyes. This woman was selling items on the sidewalks and was taking a little nap when I passed by. I really liked her outfit and especially her little hat. As soon as I meet my model, it's like love at first sight and I know well before the first stroke of the pencil that it will become a pastel.
