It's only Paint and Paper

 

Small experimental pastel painting of one of  our local visiting birds - a pink galah. 

Small - because I was experimenting...

Experimental - because after watching a course on pastel painting I wanted to put into practice with minimal risk factor!

I learned - it is harder working smaller with pastels - next time don't skimp on paper :-)

Best advice I've heard about a fear of 'wasting' materials?  "it's only paint and paper!"

Now off to try on a altered book page...
