Wave, pastel, 24" x 36", 07/17/04

This pastel was made for a summer class that I taught at Merritt College in Oakland. The class met five mornings a week, and I completed it over a two-week period of afternoons from the same subject that I provided for stu- dents. They could see the stages of development from one day to the next without losing hands-on class time for their own work. This class had all levels, from beginning to advanced students.  One of the latter was using a type of sanded pastel paper that was new to me, so I tried it out here.
