So do you do both a pastel and a charcoal piece a day?

I like your pastel work. The bear especially.

Thank you! My current daily average is 4, peaking at eight and a low of one. A few days are all charcoal as the tools travel more easily but I generally try to do both.

HOLY COW! You are seriously seriously dedicated. KUDOS to you! I am lucky to get my 15 minute sketch in...but my life is a bit on the chaotic side.

Impressive!

Thanks! Just following a choice I made to do this full time. This one is "A helping hand".

Thanks PMI! Though I have done quite a few sillhouete works, I believe that's my first in pastel. This next painting is, believe it or not, my first commissioned portrait: "Jazzbird"

I love the use of color in the Jazzbird piece. It's very vibrant. NICE.

Congrats on getting commission work too!
