I could have used the papersize better.
I really like Degas’ use of pastels – I do have a set lying around, but I find it really hard to be precise with them. Maybe I’ll give it (another) go at some point.

Yes, the way it is on the paper is awkward but it made me think of another artist you should know- Egon Schiele

He was a master at making awkward composition work.
-a little warning: Paintings are for adults only. There are a few that are pornographic. He also does REALLY awesome trees (which is perhaps an awkward thing to mention now but there you have it)
