Here's the finished work. The hand took a great deal of observation to get right due to the myriad tonal changes taking place there. Given that this is a full sheet pastel it's quite an imposing piece.

Now I'm deciding what the next piece in the series will be...

Outstanding work again Leigh,really great work on the hand and the face of course.
Looking forward to your next one.

Best from mike.

That's really quite something Leigh. I like the background. How did you come up with those greens?

Ah... I was wondering if anyone was going to bring this question up. The greens are a mix of various warm and cool greens of different values intermixed on the paper and then overlaid with some turquoise in different values. I love the energy this mix created in the background.
