PanPastels and Pastel Pencils on Mi-Teintes paper

This was painted for the Wet Canvas, Animal & Wildlife January Challenge

PanPastels on black Mi-Teintes Paper

This was completed using PanPastels on Mi-Teintes paper.
I wanted to see how much of the pastel painting I could do using just Pans, and was able to complete most of it.  I added a little pastel pencil to strengthen the edges of some of the  rose petals, as I was finishing the painting.  Quite pleased with the way it turned out.

I wanted to try pen & ink work with PanPastels.  Wasn't sure how this would develop, but as Pans can look semi-transparent, it turned out ok.  Does seem to have a watercolor effect with it, but no watercolor was used - all PanPastels and pen & ink.  PanPastels are so versatile!  You can use them with all sorts of different media!  I quite liked the effect, I've achieved and will definitely try the technique again.
