Seated Dancer, 1979

I apply the pastel in successive layers to achieve a soft structure with some areas having a more robust textured element. I use artist's hogs-hair brushes to manipulate some of the work to give it density. The work is applied on a Superior Studland coloured board, as I like the rigidity and fine surface.

Finally, the pastel is fixed to protect it, and the work only needs framing to make it ready to hang; it should be framed under glass with a mount.
