[Happychappy]

   so much Juan for your very sweet message.  I am still waiting to hear from the Intern at the Hospital for further tests. However, I am feeling so much better, thank you and yes, painting is very therapeutic and does help tremendously.

Patricia, I hope your test results were ok?

[Happychappy]

Denise, I am still going through tests ... everything here takes time. I have a stress test tomorrow and then I don't know what happens after that. However, praise God, I am feeling fine and so far everything seems O.K. Thanks for your thoughts which I appreciate.      Patricia

[Denise808]

So glad you are feeling well Patricia. Keeping you in prayer

Here is my version of this class, learned a lot from this one, like not blowing on the pastel.... took a while to clean the black paper    Thanks Dennis for a great class.

I am glad you are out of the acute phase Patricia.  Wish you a lot of strength and stamina and a come back to normal healthy life.
Patricia, Denise and Fiona- all of you have done such excellent paintings! 
Black paper does have a great effect!

[Val]

  Wow, wow, wow!!! 

That is awesome Fi! 

I may have asked you this before.... what brand(s) of pastels do you use. Any favourites?

[Win]

Very well done Fiona. Such smooth work. 

[Happychappy]

   Gita for your kind message. Yes, I am fine now ... gosh, it was a year ago this month that I had the scare but so far so good. 


Fi, your Pomegranates in a bowl is absolutely spectacular.  You have done a stunning job for sure.

Superb Fiona. Wonderful shadows and textures. 

[Fiona]

Thank you all for your lovely comments  I really enjoyed this lesson - it forced me to work very, very neatly, which if you know me is virtually an impossibility!!

Val, I use mostly Schminke, Jaxell, Unison and Ashby pastels, but by far my favourite is a set my Mum gave me which she used when she was painting, these pastels are well over 50 years old and still soft and creamy, but I am using them up at an alarming rate! They are a set of Reeves Artist pastels and they no longer make them, which is a terrible shame as there are some cracking colours in the set. And I have a full set of Derwent pastel pencils for details etc which I prefer to any of the other brands.

Cheers
Fi

Ta much Fi.
