Pride of Barbados (pink). Pastels. July 31, 2010
Today I tried pastels. I wanted some colour. I found pastels hard to handle though as you never know where the line is going to go. They are not pointed! But I persisted.
I just realised that the pastels I was using, were more like crayons (wax). The ones I will try next are oil pastels. They should work a little better. We will see!
Love pastels. Even with wax crayons, you seem to have done well. With chunky pastel sticks, your fingers will soon learn the angles and pressure to get lines, shading, and to blend some colours. Good luck!
