Soft Pastel on Canson Mi-tients paper
This was my first ever attempt at pastels after getting a set for my birthday. It only took about an hour or so to do but I was fairly happy for a first attempt.

The framed original is also available for sale. Please contact me via bubble mail if you are interested.

    This is magnificent for a first attempt at pastel. You should be VERY happy! I am hopeless at flowers and I envy anyone that can paint them!

  • Thankyou! I had a lovely photo of this flower which I had taken years ago and had always wanted to do a picture of it. It really dosen’t compare too much to the photo, but I quite like it as a picture on it’s own. It really brightens up my room

    This is really beautiful! The pink is perfect! I’ve also only done a few pastels, you are inspiring me again! ;-)

  • Thanks Liz! Pastel has become my favourite medium now. I look forward to seeing some of your new pastel creations.
