Oh wow, your second attempt - I would never have imagined you could get this kind of clear effect with pastels - it's great - and a very imaginative subject.

Fabulous work Ruth and great choice of photo to work from. I have a feeling you will be doing some more. Thanks for the site reference I will be having a look.

Seems to me you've found your ideal medium .... this is startlingly good; like Ali, I'm very surprised that you've been able to get this clear effect with pastel. I have a long way to go with them - just beginning to experiment.

What a lively painting. I didn't reallse it was pastel until I looked a second time. Well done.

The water is so realistic, all that movement!

Painted with soft pastels on Clairefontaine Pastel Mat. My second attempt with pastels and I'm rather starting to like them! Original reference photo sourced on PaintMyPhoto (wonderful site providing copyright-free images for artists) - thanks to Franklin who provided the reference image.
