Cherries in Dust - Pastel sketch

Pastels are a most addictive medium.  It is good to play in the dust.  Maybe drawing and painting at the same time is one of the main attractions, at least for me.  I like the once and done. They are easy to correct for the most part.  Other painting media requires washes, waiting for paint to dry, etc.

I wiped off the paper where I had painted the cup and wine glass a few days ago. Then I brushed it with water to get an under painting.  Another advantage to good pastel paper and boards.  The ellipses need work but for a quick study I am pleased with this.
