Flowers in Pastel - Part One

Today, Margaret Evans demonstrates, in easy to follow stages, how to capture a colourful and loose impression of a still life flower study.

In the creative environment of her studio, Margaret tackles a pastel project with a difference!

Using a bouquet of flowers as her subject, she sets out to create a fleeting and colourful impression of the flowers instead of focusing on an accurate portrayal of what is laid out in front of her the results are quite simply stunning.

If someone wants to try out the same thing using oil pastel, use turpentine instead of water. Works wonderfully. Btw, this is a wonderful teacher!

I just have a couple questions, I see people saying she's using chalk pastels. I'm interested in pastel but don't know much, but chalk pastels = hard pastels right? Also, what kind of paper is she using? thank you
