...So for Mother's Day I went to Michael's and picked up some pastel paper and some chalk pastels to play with. I have a subscription to The Pastel Artist and wanted to learn some new tricks. What I've learned, is that it must take a long time to master this art and chalk pastels are messy! ha ha
I'm working on a piece with two horses - definitely not realism but I hope I can render an interesting piece in the end. If I am at least somewhat successful I'll post a picture when I'm done. If anyone would like to offer any pointers that would be lovely!

Way to go - jump in and try something new. I can offer absolutely no tips on working with pastels. I tried them years ago and made an absolute mess out of them! I do remember seeing a video on them - the artist used colored paper and then laid down white under everything to get true colors. So there you go . . .my contribution. Do post pictures - of the progress too!
