I promised myself to christen my new pastel workstation by - well - doing a pastel!

So here it is - done whilst still in my dressing gown early this morning.I love using UNISON soft pastels - they are the business although I also love Sennelier and Schminke soft pastels too - they are pure compressed pigment with no binder so the colours last forever and don’t fade! The paper is Canson pastel paper although I love Art Spectrum Colourfix paper too.

I know they aren’t fab but I enjoyed just having a go in pastel. Soon I will reach for my old friend watercolour and hopefully do them justice.
