Chris Wheatley also gave a demonstration of using pastels... |
| |
First find the photograph you want to copy in pastels... | ...then select a piece of pastel paper that has a basic colour that will blend in with the picture... | ...and start with the basic lines and the background. |
Add in more of the background... | ...taking care not to smudge any pastels already applied... | ...and continually checking against the original! |
Finally fill in the smaller detail... | ...and stand back and admire the finished picture! | All done, not with mirrors, but with pastels! |
