Trying Paul Rubens Soft Pastels for the FIRST time!

Today I will be unboxing, swatching, and doing a demonstration drawing with my Paul Rubens Soft Pastels set! This is the very first FREE art supply a company has ever sent me! There is nothing like getting art supplies in the mail, especially free ones! I've linked the free reference photo below, if you want to follow along! So come on in to my snowy (yes, again), Northwoods studio, and draw with me today!
Happy Creating!
