However this is more pastel painting then a watercolour technique, is still good. Congratulations !

"However"? I do not say it is a watercolour technique? But watercolour methods may be used. Pastel is heavier and more opaque. Although it's versatility can be used with great effect to enhance a watercolour. Especially one that has been overworked and lost, if you do not wish to wash the paper and start again! :-) I am glad that you feel it is "still good" even so, and of interest ! :-) I use many mixed medium methods including pastel over acrylic inks.

My pleasure :-) I am pleased that my films are making such a positive difference to so many lives! :-) Yes - film is another art form and we are able to share ourselves and what we do via this. p x

what kind of paper you used

[faith6651]

150 lb waterford not - normally I use 140lb arches hot pressed - often with a dark acrylic ink ground. But I do not use water with the pastels then. Hope this helps and that my reply comes up as I have had problem swith this recently! Peter
