Practice with pears

Here is the latest work in progress; a still life of decorative pears. These pears have been used as a prop for some of my photographic projects and I believe that they present a nice subject for practice due to their color variation and shape.

I'm working with pastels on charcoal paper. Pastels are my favorite medium. I love the blending capabilities and, aside from my fingers, they make very little mess.

I've only started two of the four pears thus far. I'll continue posting progress reports. Enjoy!
