Pastel on Sketch Pad
This was more of an experiment than a composition.
Usually you would use paper with a course tooth when working with pastels so that the pigment bonds to the paper.
Instead, I used a spray fixative between layers to hold the pigment in place. Allowing me to get more depth of color and eliminate the usual mess that I make with pastels. I have always had problems
mixing Pastels.
As I have said in the past, Artistic License implies that there are no real rules.
Other Artist’s Techniques are always helpful and interesting to follow, but moving through the Creative Experience will guide you to new expressions.
I would still suggest referencing other Artist’s Works and Techniques
to develop your own style and techniques.
