"Morning Glory" blue flower

This was painted for the Wet Canvas Floral Forum's September Plant Parade

"Morning Glory" flower  -  20cm x 20cm  -   PanPastels, soft Pastels & pastel pencils on pale gold, Mi-Teintes paper

I wanted to leave the colour of the Mi-Teintes paper showing through, as it was a nice complementary color to the vivid blue Morning Glory flowers.

Palm Trees on the beach

This was painted for the PaintMyPhoto Pastel Group Challenge - "On the Beach"

Palm Trees on the beach - 25cm x 30cm - Pastel on Mi-Teintes Paper
I've left the colours of the paper showing through on the beach, in places, to tie it altogether.

Waterlily Dahlia

Watercolor and Inktense Pencil.  I washed the whole flower & background with watercolor, then added the Inktense Pencils to the middle petals to define the center more.
I really enjoy working with Inktense Pencils.  I have more control over the look of the finished painting, when using them.   I could have taken this flower painting further, but decided I liked the look of the pale-crimson outer petals against the more detailed centre.

A Lilac-breasted Roller bird

This is the little "Lilac-breasted Roller bird".

I wanted to try my PanPastels on Watercolor paper to see how they looked. And they worked well.
I've only ever used them on either Mi-Teintes of sanded Colorfix paper, but I liked the look of them on Watercolor paper.  I laid on the pastels as I would with Watercolor - going from light to dark to take advantage of the semi-transparent look that can be achieved with PanPastels.
