Hello everyone. I am sorry I have not been around for a while, I have had tennis elbow and as painting really aggravated it, I had to stop for a while and have acupuncture treatments.
I decided to do a pastel of flowers in the abstract technique I did with my fish a few weeks ago, only this time (instead of acrylics) I used pastel.
Always a challenge to stay clean and not overload the velour paper, so here goes a step by step demo.
I began with a series of colorful and free strokes on white velour paper.
I then moved to draw a sketchy charcoal floral image over the top of these marks.
My next move is to develop the background with negative painting, making the flowers take some focus.
