Pastel pony & pup
Sunny Haflinger, 7 x 7"
Milton the Sheltie, about 10 x 7"
Tonight, I went to a little free "Try-It Thursday" event at the local independent art supply place. They had some new colors of Stonehenge paper (a cotton rag printmaking paper not unlike my beloved Rives BFK) and Schminke soft pastels, and you could come in and play with this stuff, so I did.
The few other people who came out for it were mostly just scribbling, and I don't mean to slag that; there's a lot to be said for aimless mark-making when you're trying new materials. But I wanted to do something, so I brought my iPad which had some photos I could work from. These are the results. I am ... kind of stunned. I'm hardly an expert in pastel and expected I'd end up with a hot mess, not two nice little pieces of art!
Oh, and if anyone should want one of these, I will sell them. $45 plus mat at my cost (probably about $15) and shipping.
