Pastel :: der tief Wald

Date of Birth > 27 June 2007

Materials > Dark Brown Pastel Paper, soft pastel, oil pastel and fixative spray.
Main Colours > Dark brown, Intense black, Grass-green tint, Cream White, Blue-green tint, Gold tint.
Pastel Techniques > Blending

Spent Time >8 hours

Description > The title is "der tief Wald", which is means "the deep wood" in german. The idea that i try to present is easy. We at this side, look through it until the deep wood, there is another world at other side. We can't look in clear what kind of world it is because it is too far from us. The only way is go nearer and nearer, go through the wood until the deepest.

Extension > The blurry world represent the unpredictable future. And the wald present the current life. It is maybe dark and poor. We can't predict what will be the ending of our life story. We will never know what will be happen to us "if " we make a difference choice, or if we take a different road. The "unpredictable" make us nervous, uncomfortable and disappointed. But what we can do? Be the "prettiest" person! ( In my eye, someone is always look pretty, it is only when she/he do the best in her/his life. ) True to your heart. Never feel scare to do your best for your life. Viel Gluck ( good luck ) for everyone...and me of course. See you in the future. Auf Wiedersehen ( Bye ).

This one is really incredible work! I never know using pastel can draw such a smooth painting.

At first the "tunnel" is very nice and have the feeling of deep down. After you add the side background, the whole picture become very nice.

You keep improving, so, keep up the effort.

Oh, forgot to add. Really like the detailing on the spiral effect of the wood that you achieved. Must expand my horizons and try to do that. Am not too good with depth of field...
Love the cracks spiraling around. Use of reference images?
Anyway, thanks for the in sights on the 'playboy' artist. Wonder what his other styles are like.
