Well it’s excellent work Carole, you’ve arrived at some realistic greens and I love that red contrast.

Beautifully blended pastel to form the thickness of the succulent leaves Carole and the vibrant reds contrast so well.

Expertly done in pastels Carole, love how you did the little spikes and the flower stamen. Wonderful colours.

In a way it does look seasonal with the reds and greens. Really stands out.

10” x 12” Soft pastels & pastel pencils. I wanted to paint this cacti in a neighbour’s garden in Spain but didn’t have time so I took some photographs and painted it back home today. I know it’s not very seasonal but I love using the bright colours of Unison pastels.
