Peruvian Lilies

Soft pastels - very challenging but sure was fun! This is from my tonight's class. Nothing fancy or detailed but I had a good time :) I do not remember I used pastels seriously ever before so I can call it my first time - definitely with soft pastels! I have very little experience with oil pastels but nothing like this. These mix so well and I feel the pigment quality is superior probably because there is very little binder in it. I used primary colors, black and white. This was a quick still life of flowers; I could not even finish in class because I am slow. I gave final touches after I got back home so light and shadow is sort of imaginary. I will experiment more with this medium this week...
