Karlenn 30-May-2005 - 19:35:36 This is a fast site for some really good advice for us newcomers to pastel. brooksforce 03-June-2005 - 20:39:28 New to pastels, but not new to painting I find this information very valuable. But be advised, I worked with chemists for 23 years and they can be far too compacent. Do wear gloves and follow all the warnings to protect yourself from inhalation, etc. kelly 27-December-2005 - 18:30:36 concise, good tips sue francis 07-January-2006 - 15:42:39 Great info. I have been doing pastels for about 3 years and this advise really helped with the instructions I have already received. Got my muse going. You are so right...don't be afraid to make mistakes. Pastels are sooo much fun. Any thoughts on oil pastels? Would like to give those a try. hozerunner 19-May-2006 - 14:39:44 A good "common sense" article which contains many pointers and pitfalls that are often taken for granted; everyone needs an occassional reminder - this does just that. toby dean 29-January-2007 - 04:49:47 Excellent advice. Clear, simple and instructive with no unnecessary babble. Thank you. Harsa Dhokia 12-May-2009 - 10:47:52 some good tips for free! i often make the mistakes you mention. I struggle with tonal values in pastels and choosing the right colours. |
