I have recently bought a new muli-media A3 sketch pad which is a soft brown colour and so far I like it very much. I have been trying out pastels and today I did three quick studies in the park. Here they are along with one I did earlier this week.

Amazing art! I have said many times that I envy anyone who can work well with pastel colours. I feel like I’m making things up whenever I work with chalk. I have sort of given up. Best of luck with the exhibits. xo
