Soft pastel on paper 10″ x 10″
I am using primary colours in this part of my series of Beyond the Surface paintings, but now with the addition of either white or black pastel .
The base of each work is identical, then I used white pastel (or black as below) to enhace the painting
On completion I used the painting below and altered it using ’Paint’ and ’Photo Shop’ to create several new images,
I use this method in many of my works
(- one of which is VII below, which is from one of the layered images I made.)

One of two works. I used two types of paper – watercolour paper and heavy cartridge paper, 2 colours - blues and yellows.
After pouring watercolour over both papers, I worked into the WC paper with
more watercolour paint then with oil and soft pastels and silver acrylic paint.
‘Bubbles’ Abstract in Pastel 36 x 30cm
January 6, 2008 at 12:13 pm | In Abstract, Drawing, Pastel | Leave a Comment
Part of a series of drawings and paintings inspired by bubbles. I arrived at this stage after photographing many bubbles in various locations, using photoshop to edit before cropping and transfering into charcoal sketches, from here I cropped again for a pastel sketch, which I cropped finally for this artwork.
I enjoy working with soft pastels, messy, but fun. I don’t use them often but intend to do more with them this year.
