  • a very nice lesson , I would like to learn pastel work but I keep reading about dust dropping onto area , I would have to work in my apt. ,any help here . again nice work ,makes me really want to go out and purchase material to start lessons

  • Thank you for your kind comments. One of the benefits of using pastel pencils is the marked lack of dust it creates, unlike soft pastel which does cause a lot of dust. So if you want to have a go don't let the dust factor stop you.

    Kind regards Colin.

  • May I ask which pencil you use before putting on the pastel?It looks like a soft graphite pencil but when I use one it always smudges when going over the lines with a pastel pencil.

  • The original line drawing was done on cartridge paper using an HB graphite pencil. Once I am happy with the line drawing I then transfer the image onto pastel paper using a smudge proof black carbon paper. This means that the image will not smudge when I use the pastel pencil. Kind regards Colin.
