What a fabulous result from a new medium, Satu, and you've certainly started with a bang! Beautifully drawn, superb mark making and excellent execution. Well done indeed!

For your first, I look forward to your next one! It will be hard to beat. The boat is fantastic. I suspect you were on a time line too ....

Hi Satu lovely work as Seok pointed out very well drawn and beautiful mark making .First time but hopefully not the last, you have used the oil pastels very well indeed. As for soft pastels i don't like using them they are so messy but in the right hands they can produce wonderful paintings unfortunately not mine . I'm excited as in buying a lap top with a touch screen ,i can paint with my finger , I'm really looking forward to getting it ill let you know how i get on.

Thank you so much Seok, Gudrun and Dennis for your comments! I might have another go in the future with oil pastels. I'll send the other one tomorrow. It's completely different! Dennis, you'll enjoy finger painting with your new touch screen and I can't wait to see how you are getting on .

Satu, this is lovely and in that nice loose style that you have!

I love your paintings & sketches inevry media you use

great first effort - I wouldn't have realised - hoping for more

Fantastic result Satu !!

Thank you very much Sarah, Lynne, Michael, Petra and Christine for your lovely comments!

I went to a pastel workshop today, run by Tony Jackson. The subject was landscapes and the medium soft pastels. I have never really done any pastels but did have a box of them. Fortunately I had with me a box of oil pastels too because my attempt with the soft ones went into the waste bin immediately. I didn't like them at all!! Oil pastels felt much better and here is the first one.
