I share a studio in the Rivoli Mill with many talented artists and performers, the most unusual of which is the aerial troupe, Grounded High. I asked Amy and Jen if they would allow me to shoot a few reference shots for pastels. They agreed and this is the first of the series. This is Jen warming up. It’s done with Prismacolor NuPastel on Stonehenge paper. I’ll be making it available as a print in the near future. Contact me if you’re interested.
