This artist finds pastel pencils useful for sketching and adding fine detail to a pastel painting because graphite pencils may leave indentations on pastel paper which cannot be lifted out.
STEP ONE
My aim was to create a hot, dusty sunset in Africa – based on a single photograph of an elephant from Dubbo zoo. Her flared ears and prominent right forefoot inspired the idea of a matriach protecting her family from strangers in her homeland.
The paper was clipped to a piece of MDF board with at least three layers of plain paper underneath to provide a slight amount of ‘give’. I sketched my ideas onto a half-sheet of warm Burgundy paper with white pastel pencil. Sketches on tough Colourfix paper can easily be re-done if needed – using a kneadable eraser.
