Art Demonstration Progress

I'm pleased with how my current artwork in progress is progressing after two painting sessions. I have three tutorial videos being developed from the creation of this artwork.

With all these beauties somehow managing to bloom in my garden in mid-winter, I had to paint them. 

My Schmincke Extra Soft-Pastels

I painted this work using my Schmincke extra-soft pastels  The list below shows you my current sets Of course, I only used a few of these colours for the painting.  What I loved about these two sets is that they build on each other to establish a good collection of colours and tones without much repetition.  I find the Schmincke extra-soft pastels are a joy to use.

There are some great sites where you are able to obtain free domain images that you are allowed to use for your art. Pixabay (there are many others) is the free domain image source that I turned to for an image of a brush and a pen that I could combine in a photo editing program to create my Ryn Shell pen logo above. Photographs and photo editing skills are great aids for creative work. I'll strive to steer you from being dependent on them when creating art work. The human eye sees in a different may to a camera.
