Painting Journal in Watercolor and Pastel (Full Demonstration)

This is an extract from my course Watercolor and Pastel Techniques for light filled Paintings. Find out more about it here: bit.ly/Watercol...

I really like combining watercolor with soft pastels. More of these please!

This appears to be in real time, ie it took you about 14 minutes.
That's amazing.

[@MalcolmDewey]

Thanks - pretty close to it, but I had a good idea what I wanted to do first, which helps.

More interesting rather than just pastels by itself , I think .

[@MalcolmDewey]

Yes Sima - it is a nice way to get into mixed media without too much stress :)

Nice one Malcolm do you need to use fixative spray ?

[@MalcolmDewey]

It is best to do so in a journal on completion as the pastel will rub off.
