If you read the description it mentions pastel at the bottom, your favourite medium Lynda!!..I used Faber Castell Pitt pastel pencils from Germany with some hard pastels as well on coloured pastel paper…had to keep using a workable fixative and building up layers, pressing really hard in some areas to get the look I wanted, as with pastels I notice the colours do fade. Then took photo under a bright light which brought them out…was really happy with the result…thanks again dear Lynda :-)

oh Zowie!! what a great word to describe something you like…I might just use that myself :-D thank you so very much Brian for your lovely comment and for taking the time to view. I really like working with dark backgrounds for some reason as I like to push the subject forward which it does do depending on topic. Thanks so much also for the 5 star rating!!!!. ..best wishes :-D

thanks Lynda…no worries something I would do! ..I do a pastel and spray it with fixative and then it seems to pale a bit (I am not sure if it is the moisture in the air here at the moment?) maybe it is because I have not bought colourfix paper? I did ask at the art shop and he said the pastel paper pad I bought would be fine and to spray with the fixative, he did not have any colourfix..maybe I need to spray more on! :-D appreciate your support !

thanks Lynda will see what happens next time!
