Soft Pastels

First Pastel after 12 years
Shih Tzu in Pastel
Soft Pastels or chalk pastels are an amazing medium to use.  They are able to give depth to your paintings without much work. There is also an ease in blending the colors – either with your fingers or a diffuser (difuminador in Spanish), you feel almost like you are giving a part of yourself when you touch your paper.

I have learned many mediums in my time but my work in soft pastels is the only one I have actually had framed and display in my home.

I've recently gone back to this medium and it was not hard to do so.  My work (a Shih Tzu from a picture) turned out a little crooked but all in all it was pretty good.
