RESTING

Mary Ann Pals

Charcoal and pastel on cold-pressed multimedia paper

11" × 17" (28cm × 43cm)

This composition was a happy accident after my daughter had pulled off her shoes. The way the shoes and laces interacted with each other caught my attention: The curve of the right shoe’s toe returned me to the center where one lace perfectly filled the shadowed gap between the shoes. I grabbed my camera and shot some reference photos at shoe level. I started with charcoal, rendering the drawing almost to completion, then I applied the buttery pastels on top. I kept my color palette simple, only using enough color to help tell the story.

“A good composition is a story worth telling; developing the characters and illuminating their relationships is the key to bringing it across.”

—Mary Ann Pals
