I have just completed this pastel. I tried to keep as much detail as possible but keeping it loose at the same time. I done it from a series of photos I took while living in Kuwait. I drew a detailed pencil sketch followed by two coats of Art Spectrum clear primer using Windsor & Newton & Art Spectrum soft pastels Regards from Australia

I like the colors and the topic.
I wonder if you put the figure too much in the center of the painting. Although I like the orange color (.. a bright spot against the brown dates and blue apron) which can be seen behind his head, it looks a bit out of place..... almost hatlike. However the clothing and the dates look great.
Keep up the good work.

Sometimes we paint to see more clearly or to feel more deeply.
