The morning was spent on learning on how to have a safe working environment when using chalk pastel, types of papers and boards that can be used with pastel, the various ways of handling the medium when applying it to the different types of paper and examples how the results.
In the afternoon we were allowed to choose various objects she had brought in for us to use in creating a still life painting in pastel.
I chose a seashell and a piece of coral.
There is still more depth of colour and detail to add to the painting. I will post this piece once I have it completed.
