Thank you som much Ronald, Shaun, Cecilia, Fiona, Anne, Russell, Michael and Tessa. Your lovely comments are very much appreciated. For anyone wanting to have a go, I was surprised how soft pastels adhere to the coloured pencils quite well.

A lovely portrait Carole; I've been interested to read that you've been combining soft pastels and crayons, and in your painting of Hauxley Beach, oil pastels and soft pastels. I've not tried this but will try now.

My daughter venturing out at such a low temperature - crazy. Reference photo taken by my daughter. A bit of an experiment combining soft pastels with coloured pencils. 35 cm x 25 cm.
