My new medium


Soft Pastels

I can't tell you how much fun I am having with soft pastels. I am taking an online workshop and thank God there are videos. The woman teaching the workshop is Marla Bagetta from Oregon. She has a ton of free videos with everything you would ever care or need to know about pastels. I have some cheap pastels and that box I posted about a few years ago that I bought at an artists yard sale.


Here is the reference photo for my first pastel study (not a finished piece but more a sketch)



I ordered good pastels and they will be here Thursday. Hopefully they will give me a leg up (smile).

      I was able to afford the 26 week class which is like baby steps. I put ego aside and started as if I knew nothing. Willingness, Honesty and Open mindedness

    Same vibrant colors as in a lot of your other mediums!!! One thing I've noticed about you is you dive into all of your explorations with "your ego aside" and with willingness and open mindeness.

      Especially no ego in this one. I LOVE it.
