Pastels from Wolf Kahn Weekend

Just a few works I did during the Wolf Kahn pastel workshop I attended last weekend. On Saturday we worked outside, and I admit I wanted to create a Wolf Kahn look alike with bold colors and simplified shapes. But choosing those colors and shapes is more challenging than it looks. So I stuck with a more representational style. On Sunday, we worked indoors since it was raining all day. I found the medium of pastel very frustrating. everything I did looked blurry and rough. Getting sharp edges required going over and over the work. But who ever said art was easy?
