Art

I bought some cheap pastels from Hobbycraft to finish off an outline drawing from last year. It's on ordinary Strathmore drawing paper as I only took up pastels in the last week. I just wanted to see how they worked so didn't try for anything other than getting the values right. As long as I stay away from face portraits I think I'll enjoy pastelsView attachment 142418

What surface and medium are you using?

Hi Mate that one is oil on canvas
I underpainted the canvas an a fairly warm pink acrylic which you can see shining through the hand

I've given up with oils, and canvas. Concentrating on gouache, line and wash and coloured pencils now. Working on an Amy Winehouse pop art portrait. At this stage I'd put down watercolour pencil and black Inktense pencil. Went on to block it out in gouache. Might need to use acrylics for the highlights.

I quite like ballpoint for sketching street scenes

He had a brush with fame?

Painted this for my brother-in-law's 60th birthday. Acrylic gouache.

Blimey.
