Introduction to pastels
Life knows how to push the right buttons. There I was, triggered by the unreasonable will to try new things, once again. After buying a few basic books on drawing and watching some tutorials, I was already excited to start without a clear purpose but to explore my creativity. Let me share some of the experiments so far.
I should admit this medium offers interesting possibilities of blending colors, by adding different values in layers and provide vivid tonalities and texture to the drawing. I will be dedicating some free time to learn the painting and drawing techniques. I am afraid it’s a long journey indeed. Yet again, art finds its way to put life to a halt.
Painting is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do. —Edgar Degas
