Another beautiful fresh piece. You're a natural. As long as you have a good sense of color, you should have no problem with the pastels. My troubles with pastels are all about color, not application, even tho the last piece I did, I lost the tooth of the paper. (you did'nt hear that from me) I feel I work better when I don't think about it too much, once I start thinking, I struggle. Get ready to spend a ton-o-money. The last two cash awards went straight to Dakota Pastels for two sets.

So how are you liking the Stonehenge, I think I remember you using another brand of hot-press board before 'Stef'? Have you tried the Fawn color yet, one side is a touch lighter than the other? I believe the lighter side is smoother, but I enjoy the darker side more. Another question being that you use the mechanicals, do they scrape into the paper? I don't always sharpen my pencils for that reason, and I have a fairly light touch.

Anyhoo, looking forward to the pastels, good luck but I bet you won't need it.
