The process...

I've been working with pan pastels lately

and thought I would document the process...

Watercolor paper covered with paper and

pieces of sewing patterns.

Applied gesso and Naples Yellow acrylic paint, randomly.

More gesso and paint.

I lightly sketched some flowers in a vase.

Outlined sketch with pan pastels.

More pan pastels...

and a bit more

Using a baby wipe, I removed some color.

And then added some color.

More color...

and it's done.

Close up to show how the papers show through.

Another close up to show that how

I highlight the wrinkles in the papers with

extra color.

Enjoy!
