Description: Pastel portrait of a young African American teen on a bright blue background. My inspiration was Isaiah, who was an art student of mine throughout his elementary years. I’ve watched him grow into a good-hearted, fun-loving teenager, and I continue to keep up with him and his family. I treated the surface with marble dust and an acrylic wash of thalo blue and ultramarine blue.
