Lovely and vibrant Alan. Did you have to prepare the mountboard for the pastel first? Enjoy your prize.

Thanks everyone, no Adele, as it comes, just added a darker colour that's all, Mountboard is ideal for pastel.

Pastel 15 x 11in on Ivory mountboard, a wash of Phalo blue acrylic applied to give me the base colour that was needed. I don't do many pastels although they are enjoyable, just had quite a few different sets of Caran D'ache products arrive, my Patching's award winning prize, so I had better get them used.
