Got pastels about a year ago and just decided I need to work with them…what fun. Like being a kid
again. Working with pastel seems like “joyful”; working with oils seems like “work”. LOL
The pink one is a mat board that I added some clear gesso to it to give it some teeth…perhaps a bit too much teeth.
The blue boat was done (not finished yet and will probably never get done) on regular pastel paper. Even though not really done there is a certain something that I like about the boat.
Things I’ve realized about pastel: It’s kind of messy. What you work on makes a big difference. Also blending is very different depending on what you work on.
Thank you Beth. I honestly didn’t think anyone would see this. lol
how beautiful
