| Title: Chelsea
Size: 38cm X 48cm Support: Burgundy Canson (rough side) Pastels: Unison and a few Derwent Pastel Pencils Artist: Smudger WC username: Smudger My love of pastels first began with pastel pencils but I was forever stuck for inspiration and never quite sure what to do next. Then one day I discovered the WC Pastel Forum and it bestowed on me three very important gifts; inspiration, instruction and encouragement. Although I still have a very long way to go, it helps to know that others are travelling the same road with me and that we are all here to help and inspire each other. |
| Title: Fresh as a Daisy
Size: 12"x10" Canson mi-tentes with Winsor and Newton pastels Artist: Hayley Eades WC username: angeline |  |
| This was one of my early pieces and secured my love for
pastels! I have only been pastelling since Feb this year, yet in that time from being in the Pastel Forum I have learn't and developed so much! I love the way pastels are so versatile to the artists style and the colours sparkle! From the support and encouragement in the pastel forum I have sold several works and been commissioned for more!

| Title: Conte Still Life
Size: 9"x12" white, sanguine and brown conte on black 60# paper Artist: Greg WC username: Vegas Art Guy |  |
| This took me a couple of hours to draw, and yes the wine bottle really does
look like that! I picked this drawing because it shows the versatility of conte crayons and how even on black paper the color really comes across. Not to mention how you can create impact with negative space as well as with the medium itself. I've really enjoyed WC in general and the Pastel Forum in particular because it has made me a better draftsman, which in turn has made me a better artist not just with conte, pastels and oil pastels, but with pencils, colored pencils and acrylic paint. The weekly thread has kept me creative even at work as I drew everything from box cutters to coffee mugs to dirty grungy towels and even my lunch. I encourage people who have not shown work in WC or in the weekly thread to do so, you won't be sorry. Greg The Vegas Art Guy ... Viva Las Vegas!... |
