Shadowplay


I figured it was time I played around more with shadows and lighting. Initially I wanted to use paint and I figured I'd try acrylic. So I took some photos of myself by candlelight. However when I started working with the acrylic paint I didn't like the results, I found the paint was drying too fast and I was getting impatient. I thought I'd try something else so I got out the pastels instead and this is my finished product, oil pastels on 14" x 17" poster board.

Even though I like the results I'm not completely satisfied so I will keep on playing around with shadows and such. If anyone would like to submit shadowy pictures for me to use please feel free to. :)
