RE: My ArtVenture: Pastel drawing “Lights over Thames”
Hello @stef1! I'm very glad that you continue to draw with pastel. I also posted a landscape on the blog. Very beautiful place for walking, I would like to come to sketches in the open air! )
Thank you for your nice words and of course I will on and off do pastel works it just depend on what I have and what is more convenient at certain time.
Do you mix pastel with other materials, or use it only separately?
For my last works I used pure soft pastel but in the past I tried to mix it with acrylic, I did not really like the result but I will try again, because I saw some other artists work with mixed acrylic and soft pastel they were really nice :)
I've never tried acrylic. It seems to me that these techniques do not quite match in composition. I used to mix ordinary pastel with coal for density and saturation.
