Derwentwater, Lake District

i like this :-) and agree pastel is brutal on the fingers but fingers work better than the paper stumps i find :-) you are very talented :-)

I like this too! I thought it was a watercolour at first, the sky is very well blended and the mountains receed nicely.

Lovely and atmospheric. Love the tranquility of the scene. It's not an approach for everyone, but when I was working in pastels, I used surgical gloves so I didn't have to scrub my hands everytime I finished a piece. I found I could blend quite well with the gloves too.

PS. Thanks so very much, too, for taking the time to leave comments on my gallery!
