Here's another study from the pastel workshop with Tony Allain. He showed us a simple way to render crowds of people, and I chose a photo from a NYC street to try it out.
His advice not to eliminate the lime green shape on the right margin was spot on. I was going to leave it out, thinking that drawing attention to the edge of a painting would just distract -- at least that's what I've read. In this case, it adds a nice unexpected pop of color, proving that sometimes it pays to break the rules about composition.
