Lovely! I am thinking of trying pastels - especially after watching this video.

Wow. I haven't worked with pastels in years. Thanks for sharing. Tammy in Huntington Beach CA

I LOVE this technique! I’ve taken a workshop with Nancie and learned so much! She’s a great teacher and using her technique really surprises you when you’re finished with your painting. WELL DONE! (Hi Nancie - I’m a fellow Rockfordian 😊😄)

Stunning work. I use pastels to paint Scottish landscapes. Mainly in Fife Scotland

Hello from Lucaya, The Bahamas.

Really an interesting pastel painting -- perspective both atmospheric and linear -in city air so chroma colour is yellower

Whatever is at the bottom of the painting is now lighter and a little more detailed than the negative space but not as light as the positive space in the background -- so the bottom area pushes forward a little.

Where does Nanciie get the pastel holder for her studio?
