Recently got a new stash of materials - Clarefontain Pastelmat paper, 120 half stick Sennelier soft pastels and a sampler set of various green soft pastels. Dakota Pastels a great supplier of materials. Today I used the sampler set and a few of my existing soft pastels to create this painting. The downside is the sampler has many beautiful pastels that I want to buy more.

A very good friend passed on a photograph that my wife volunteered me to reproduce in pastels. This is on Canson Mi Teintes pastel paper with a variety of pastels - Sennelier, Terry Ludwig, Rembrandt and Nu-pastels. I hope DP is happy with my rendition of her photograph.
