This is a piece called "Sigh No More"; named after and Mumford and sons album. This is part of the challenge/project I have set for myself where I produce 30 pieces based on album titles.
I saw this title as a final sigh, it brought the idea of death to mind. Bright colours were used to represent the soul leaving the body.
I combined pencil sketching and graphite sticks with pastel work to achieve the effect I wanted and am quite pleased with the result. The lips were tricky, there was a sheen that I found difficult to reproduce.... bit more practice needed
