LIKE THIS

I like this tiny orchid so much, I'm putting this up again....as usual, half the job is choosing the right material....I rub in beige pastel onto paper, came along with a kneaded eraser and drew with the eraser....a bit of oil paint on top of the pastel for definition

SANDPAPER

choosing the right material could be half the job....this tiny pastel is 2x4 inches, done on a type of sandpaper for pastel, quite happy with this new paper

UP THERE

simple relaxed meals on my deck or in my garden...despite the heavy clouds, making the most of outdoor living and outdoor painting
