Various soft pastels on Canson pastel paper, smooth side. An image I had a lot of fun painting, it was painted by kind permission of Jim Adamson, who took the original photo. I felt I could create a little drama by darkening the background slightly from the orininal image. The most fun part was painting the dress.

FANTASTIC PASTELJacki Bowler 25 Aug 2008
The dress is incredibly effective............the folds and pleats and very realistic...........the lighting is lovely and the off-centre composition leads your eye with theirs into whatever lies ahead..........great work :o))Heather Leigh Douglas 24 Aug 2008
