Red Admiral Butterfly in pastels on Pastelmat.

This one was a commissioned piece of work, one where I was given free reign for both the subject and media. A rare occurrence, but not one I’ll pass up! I was thinking about getting the pastels out again for a change of scenery, and this project proved to be the ideal candidate. I’m still working my way in with pastels, they’re not entirely where I’d want it to be but I feel like I’m progressing well enough with them considering how infrequently I’m able to get them out.
