I couldn't sleep last night and I have been itching to play with pastels on suede board more. I am going to order some Ampersand pastelbord to try also. I like the way the suede board holds the pastel and still allows for lots of layering of color. I am not able to use my really soft pastels though, not as well as the Nupastels seem to go on. I think I am going to do the WC challenge, where you take one image, simplify it and then paint it 100 different ways! I will start next year and I have the picture in mind already. Anyway, here is Helen's adorable King Charles Spaniel, Bentley! Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas
Pastel 8"x10"
Bentley looks wonderful. I really love your work!
ReplyDeleteI saw this on WetCanvas earlier. Wonderful job on this!! I'm amazed by the colors in his fur. Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI have NO idea how you are able to create such beauty with pastels. I've tried to do pastels, but was unsuccessful. I admire your talent and ability to create magic with such a difficult medium!
