Each piece is fresh ...I absolutely LOVE your work. Each piece is fresh and inspirational. I have always done work in charcoal and decided to venture into color last year with pastels. I started with oil pastel and have landed in chalk pastels with passion. I am starting to try soft pastels and am testing how to use them versus/with the chalk. I have used a couple of your pieces as trials with abstract figures and they have helped me learn how to blend and layer color. Thank you for your inspiration.Nikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799422410384445598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504038576279241872.post-4375749805826393082009-03-25T15:39:00.000-04:002009-03-25T15:39:00.000-04:00your welcome! if you venture into colors, I recom...your welcome! if you venture into colors, I recommend Nupastles ofver regular pastels - they are a little denser, and you can create crisper lines and control the amount of pastel on the page easily. Started sets have around 12 colors, and are the perfect amount of colors to start experimenting with (although intense colors - reds, blues, yellows - not a lot of the soft, creamy colors). Some stores may also cary small sets in one "section" - like "skin tones" - those sets are also nice, because they have more of the half-tones. Good luck and have fun!Krystyna81https://www.blogger.com/profile/15511024163507167473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504038576279241872.post-57798376502074487712009-03-20T22:17:00.000-04:002009-03-20T22:17:00.000-04:00I LOOOVE the colors!
