My first foray into colour and using a medium other than graphite is complete. It was an interesting process, frustrating to begin with as I was getting to grips with the capabilities of pastels, and finding my own way to go about things. I’m certainly not averse to taking advice from people, but I do think there’s also a lot to be said for working out techniques yourself. I’ve learnt a lot from this piece, and am looking forward to approaching the next colour piece with a bit more confidence.
