A New Medium for Me...Pastels!

I took a class with a wonderful lady named Diane Oliva.  My friend Wendy said she would never take a class with anyone but Diane. 
 
Diane was very direct, which I appreciate. She never touched my art, which I also liked...teachers should be hands off...unless given permission. After all...it's my art, not theirs!
 
Here is what I ended up with. Eh...but I'm a newbie, so that's my excuse!

 
I love the way we started with the background and with the darks.
So different from Watercolor!
 
Until next time,

  1. Beautiful, Bev! I never managed to conquer (or even get an acquaintanceship with!) pastels so it's a good thing I finally discovered alcohol markers. :-D I think this still life is marvelous and your coloring is wonderful.
