Same again



After an enjoyable pastel session the other day I struck while the iron is hot as they say. This time with a stunning lady but not one Id like to meet on a dark night. I like the large pastels as it makes me be a little looser but sometimes I do wish for a few pastel pencils for the smaller detail, especially eyes.

    You are no longer 'playing' with paints.

  3. Your too kind Ladies. I havnt given up on the paint but I have no paper except some cheap poor paper. I do see some mileage in pastels, a look in hobby craft today at the pencils had me baffled as to what I wanted.

  6. Your lioness is beautiful! I love pastels too and went through a phase of using them, but then reverted back to watercolours but would love to practice more with pastels, I'd get a beginners set of pastel pencils to try out which will have the basic colours in - they are really handy for the finer detail - as for watercolour paper, Bockingford 140lb from Ken Bromleys isn't too expensive but is good quality.
