Pastel Demonstration / Poppies by Susan Jenkins

This is a speed video of a pastel painting I did of some brilliant poppies in a field bursting with color.  I have been using a technique lately of making my own pastel boards with a beautiful golden underpainting. It really makes the colors explode in the final painting. I titled this one, "Seeking His Face" because the poppies seem to be reaching toward the light.

Here is the final painting. :)
