Soft pastel on velour paper, 30x40cm. I thought I would try the velour paper I bought at Patchings for this painting of a poppy field near the East Yorkshire village of North Cave. The velour gives a slightly out of focus effect which is pleasing and I found that it accepts a huge amount of pastel compared my usual Ingres or Mi-Tientes paper. I will certainly use it again.

I am an amateur artist and work in various media but favour acrylics, pastels and coloured pencils. I work full time as a Chartered Engineer and art is my relaxation. I am a member of the Codnor Art Club which was formed in mid 2014 when our adult education class closed after our teacher retired.
