Tester 2 of "A year of wild nature" is using air dry clay. As I don't have any, I have skipped to Tester 3 which is creating a Pan Pastel scene "Light In Bloom" tutored by Dawn Van Der Stoep.
I have to say that I struggled with this, because it is quite messy and I like to craft in a clean area. The Pan Pastel dust seemed to get everywhere. My finished scene is no where near the sample Dawn created, I think I will call it a "loose interpretation"!
I didn't have all the Pan Pastel colours Dawn used in her sample, so made do with the ones I did have, which was the same for the pastel pencils.
The more I look at this photo, the more the scene is growing on me!
I never got into Pan Pastel..I only have a couple and they have been out to play for years..lol. I would however like to get some pastel pencils and will keep my eye out for some as they do give a different look to things. I love your very creative scene and the colour are so vibrant and pretty. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat. Pastel pencils are a lot easier and cleaner to use. I have a tin of Van Goch Pastel pencils which are great, but I also bought a single "Derwent white pastel pencil which is really lovely to use.
