This blog follows Fine Art Pastel paintings by Betsy Priesing. The paintings are at some times, works in progress, as well as finished pastel paintings. I try to explain some of the process in developing pastel painting. I hope you enjoy!

Arianna by firelight finished
Here is the finished painting of Arianna by the fire. It took me alittle bit with kids and pets coming and going this week.
I fiddled with her far eye and added more reds and purple shadows. It was a challange to get it to look like nighttime and I am happy with the outcome. I will try another night painting soon.

It looks great! I think you really captured the ambient darkness and directed light!
