For pastel art, I like oil pastel paintings and soft pastel pictures because of their vibrant colors. I especially like the landscape colors, being an autumn person myself. As a pastel artist, I like how you can build up layers in pastel pictures, though you have to be careful not to load up the initial layers too much. Otherwise, the subsequent layers will have nothing to hold onto. When making pastel pictures, soft pastels are my favorite. They make great art, but they are messy. Nothing says you are a pastel artist like a pair of jeans awash in color. My wife is angry because I got dust from my pastels all over her chair (now it is my chair). I also enjoy oil pastel painting and pastel drawing. While making a pastel drawing, I find I have more control over detail when using the pencil. Making oil pastel paintings reminds me of ‘real‘ oil painting. I have been a little lax in putting my pastel art on the web. I have more soft pastel pictures and oil pastel paintings to scan in, but I just have not gotten around to it. Supplies used to produce this pastel art include
