I’ve been having some fun with the pastels again today, this time using some vibrant colours over a muted background colour. I’m really liking how it’s standing out, the colours are nice and strong and the layers go on very well. It’s far from perfect, but then again it is only a sketch: it’s not meant to be. I’m getting to grips with pastels as a medium and I’m enjoying using them, but there is nevertheless a long way to go before I start to be really happy with the results.
