So far, I'm not in love

with pastels, that is.

Last night, through the generosity of Lisa Mitchell at Mountain Inspirations, I sat in on an on-going pastel painting session in North Hampton.  She lent me a paper prepared with Acrylic Gesso for Pastels and access to her substantial pastel pallette.  I stuck mostly to my small collection of Rembrandts and NuPastels.

I totally understand now that whoever has the most pastels wins!  At least with pastels.  I also understand the lure of the Terry Ludwig brand (SO soft!), and TL's Maxine Price shades or gray (more than 50, I'm sure).

You'd think that something that looks like chalk/crayons would be easy.  You'd be wrong.

But curious.  Even if dusty.
