I felt like getting my fingers dusty so wiped off that same old paper I use for the pastel sketches and went to work for about thirty minutes.
Number 1, to do with Valentine's Day - the little owl again
Number 2, sweet - the candies
Number 3, red - a little glass
I really like pastels, here is a list of some of the reasons why I like pastels:
- Vibrant color
- Long lasting color
- Fast
- Draw and paint at the same time
- Durable
- Easy to work with
- Fast
- Can leave and come back at any time
- No brush clean up
- Do overs are OK
- Fast
- Fun
- Many different techniques available to use
- Different surfaces
- Did I say fast?
I get bored when painting or sketching takes a long time. That is probably why I like sketching in ink and painting with pastels.

Good job on these three! I never thought about the good things about painting in pastel...just the mess I would make. lol
Joan, I guess I am used to the mess. I work on very upright surfaces with a tray to catch the dust. I never blow on it. Hmmm.
the speed of use is def something I love about them, not too keen on the dust tho lol
Jennifer Rose, for me the speed is important. Dust can be bad, I try to keep it at a minimum.
Such a cute little owl.
