I tried the pastels

Last night I was in the mood to draw. I wanted to try out the new pastel colours that I got from Sharon. I was hooked. I haven´t used pastels before and it was really fun.

As I drew, Shadow jumped up and lay on the table and watched me for a long time. It was really cosy.


Here is the finished picture.

The colours haven´t really come out so well in the photo. I tried to take it with and without flash, but it still isnt the right colour. The real thing looks much better.

That is brilliant!! You really have a talent there. Ronnie's really good with pastels as well, he can put a whole one in his mouth without chewing it!!

Laura, for a first attempt that is really quite impressive. No doubt Lorraine will be able to give you some pointers to improve, but I can't see where they would be. Then again I don't have an artistic bone in my body.

Well done, you should feel very proud of yourself.

Lorraine said...

Looks great Laura - I'd love to really see it but even so it's brilliant!

I think pastels are more fun to work with than paints - and less cleaning up afterwards!!

well done you - is there anything you can't do?

Loving all the updates! Looking forward to next Saturday!

Get a cake to rise?

Laura you really are quite a wee artist eh?! And just think you don't have lots of mess to clean up when you are finished.

I would love to see some of Lorraine's work that everyone talks about

Lorraine, can you put some pics of your art work on your blog, would love to see them

Laura said...

Lorraine is a real artist Rhoda. She is absolutely brilliant at drawing and painting. Lorraine you should post some of your work. Honestly my painting look like somethings from a kinder-garden when you see Lorraines. So go on Lorraine post some!!! Inspire us all!!

I can't now after all that praise! I'll see if I can find some stuff - I haven't had time to do anything properly in years.

And don't sell yourself short, Laura. You are a real artist!

Du er så vild Laura. Det er bare så flot! Ja, "Kreativitet" burde være dit mellelnavn!
