Tessa this is super for a first go! Love the organic flow of the tree and landscape/riverbank, especially where you have used the light and dark counter change. Gorgeous darling!

I like it Tessa.

Really good for a first go Tessa. It's so tempting to blend and smudge, but you have used them without blending keeping it fresher.

This has a lovely flow to it Tessa and quite strong movement within the image

Thank you Carole. I should have said the paper was blue, that’s not all pastel!

Lovely flowing pastel work I like it Tessa.

Great job here Tessa, perseverance is the keyword because it’s a lovely underrated medium in my view!

I like this Tessa, what a lovely composition and use of colour (I'm not sure about pastels either!)

Many thanks Carole, Alan and Heather. This is a mix of soft, hard and pastel pencils. Yes Alan I need to persevere!

Lovely flowing composition and colours, Tessa. (I’ve tried pastels and couldn’t get on with them at all.)

Thank you Jenny-seems I’m not alone! x

Great sketch, Tessa, I agree about the feel of dry pastels, I prefer oil pastels

I love the freedom of movement and use of colour. Great work.

Thank you Thalia. I have some oil pastels but not keen on the result there! Many thanks Spencer.

One of our art group was giving away some pastels so a couple of us thought we would have a go and having watched a few YouTube videos I came up with this. Although I like viewing pastel work I was put off by the feel of them. Quite pleased with some of this but still very much a beginner! A4 on pastel paper using mostly Sennelier.

About the Artist

I have returned to painting over the last twelve years or so, having relocated from Cardiff to the Cotswolds in 2009 and joined the Guiting Power Art Group.
