This was an experimental first for me with pastel painting.
Be careful of the paper you use for pastel, as it was pastel paper but using my fingers, I felt I had rubbed my hand over sand paper.
Pastels are so lovely and easy to use.
Here an imaginary land and sea scape by me.

It’s a wonderful piece of work. I haven’t used pastels yet. Last time I was painting at school. 😊
Yes, Pastels I find quite easy because they blend well with other colours. Thanks Vidocka.
Very well done. Looks like youve been using them for years. Pastels are difficult. I have used pastels, a long time ago. I did a pale pink rose, which was the first and last time I used them. lol. This is when I learned that I really like oils the best.
If you choose a rose I can understand that pastels would be hard.
Maybe I should have said it depends what you choose your pastels for. Sometimes it is the materials we use, some are easier than others.
No I would not do flowers with pastels but I could always try it.
If you do choose to do detailed subjects with pastels, I suggest using pastel stick and also pastel pencils. For the fine line,, keep the pencils sharp
I went through this phase where I wanted to do things the old school way. Pen and inks with a quills, oils with only the 6 base colors, mixing my own, and pastels. I did use the sticks, they look like crayons right? I have never tried the pencils, though I have seen them in the art stores. I will have to take a picture of it today and post it tomorrow. I meant to do that yesterday, but got too busy and forgot. Thanks for the tips and landscape does seem way more fun than the rose was. Maybe I should give them another try. 🙂
I don’t paint, but I love the pastel colors. This is your last time proving how talented you are.
I struggle to work with pastel … they aren’t as contrasting but is really nice well use correctly!!
You use pastel perfectly!!

An impressive experiment, Pamela. It’s always fun to see your paintings.
I have never since I’m not good in drawing. Nice drawing of land and sea.
Your painting looks like a photograph – great work!!
