Some of you may "know" Deborah from wetcanvas.com, Pastel Forum, and the International Association of Pastel Societies Convention. She has been a great tutor on wetcanvas and very sharing with her information and skills. She is located in Albuquerque, but I haven't met her in person. I always say, next time I'm there.
I checked out the video on the Pan Pastel site, where I found more videos. Have any of you used them? What do you think about them. Maybe they should be on my wish list for Christmas. It looks like it would be a new technique I would like by adding a sort of "brush" touch to pastel painting. Hmmm.
And here is a sunset painting of mine to spike your thoughts about sunsets and pastels.

I love the clouds and how the sun is shining on the yucca plants!
I've been driving a lot at night lately, and everytime I come to a bright red stop light I think of you. I think of you in a good way....the absolute beauty you create with your pastels in your night scenes. I sit at the light and wonder...."How does Jo do that?" (((HUGS)))
Valerie, hi and thank you so much. You have piqued an idea. I haven't done a night scene for quite some time. I appreciate your thoughts. :) Hugs back.
Dunno nuthin' 'bout Pan Pastels but I do like the Spanish Bayonets painting. I don't remember seeing it before. Hmmm...
I don't know about the Pan Pastels either, I think Santa is bringing me some to try. :) The painting is from 2005, and it sold in Magdalena, so you may not have seen it in person. Hmmm. Thanks.
