I just love the colors and light in this--pastels do give the most resplendent color! But I especially the composition!
thank you laura.. pastels are fun...thanks for stopping by..
Cindi, how wonderful! Only your second pastel, and you have have already achieved such great results. The colors and the highlights are beautiful.
I will have to go and look at Desiree's demo....Oh! but I am so afraid that I will add pastel to my ever growing list of things to try:-)
You handle the pastels, beautifully, Cindi! I can see why you are hooked on them now :) I've never gotten into them (although I have several sets) - afraid of another obsession! ha ha
christiane.. i have never wanted to try another medium becuaei have so many wc art supplies im going to need to move if i get more... but this is so much fun and so easy to play wth quickly .. i bought the wrong stuff to begin with so had to go shopping aain so if you get hooked and want to try.. give me a holler and i can tell you what NOT to buy!! LOL
rhonda... you should join painting friends and come see the demo.. if nothing else, you can play with the ones you have...
thank you both for the nice comments and stopping by!!
Looks like you may have found a new niche! And since you don't have as much time to paint, this is one you can stop and start at a moment's notice. Check into Great American Art Works - the pastels are made right here in Cincinnati - and anyone who uses them says they are fantastic. Some of the big names in the pastel world use them! I'm told they "feel like butter" and have never heard a bad word about them (don't know how prices compare, tho') but he sells by set or single. Keep up the good work!
Cindy, thanks for checking in on my blog and helping me find yours -- I'm following now. Like you, I[ve just been trying some pastels. My, yours like like you've done pastel for years! Nice work.
Also, I love your watercolor master portrait. You have much to enjoy here.
Hope you get your taxi service figured out so you have the time you need to do art.
