Pastels On Paper


I rarely draw in pastels so this is a new experience for me. I find it really difficult to get the right blend of mixtures, tones and colours to interlink with one another, especially on the fur .  So this took quite a bit of time, as I'm normally drawing in pencil.  However I found this quite an exciting challenge as adding colour really brings the hare to life.  This has made me want to draw more in pastels as the softness of the pastels gives a rich texture to the paper and a vibrant sense of the environment the hare is in.
