The Rose, finished WIP

Wow. I did say soft pastel suits you.

Well done Linda. Lovely delicate rose.

I knew this would be beautiful Linda, it looks absolutely gorgeous and the dark background makes the rose pop.

Thank you Gudrun, I'm enjoying using them just a bit messy but got plenty of baby wipes lol Thank you Tony, it's a gorgeous climber we have on the patio 😀 Thank you Margaret, how is yours coming on with your black background, the only thing with the pastels is you tend to get a bit smudgy and i don't know what's the best way to get rid of it, so any suggestions greatly appreciated 😀

The dark background really offsets the soft pastel rose.

Wow....Linda this is gorgeous. You are certainly the master of pastels.

Beautiful and delicate colours against the black background. Well done.

Wow! That's so gorgeous Linda!

Really beautiful work Linda.

Great work Linda

Wow's the word! Absolutely beautiful work.

Beautifully done, Linda. That black background sets it off perfectly.

I tried this paper and the soft pastels just fell off. Well done - it is gorgeous, Linda.

Alan and Carole thank you for your positive comment, Linda, thank you for your comment, I have just bought some new soft pastels and they seem fine, I got them from Amazon, Koh-I-Noor, Toison D'or, and I used Derwent pastel pencils.
