"Orchids in Ruby Glass II"
11 x 11" Pastel on PastelMat.
Posting finished version of my Orchids in pastel.
I totally can not tell which one I like better - Oil painting or this one.
What I can say one more time - I LOVE PastelMat.
Totally terrific paper, pleasure to work on!...
And now I'm ready for another project.

I would never attempt to paint the water in this painting in pastel! This is wonderful.
Thank You, Thom! I'm using multi-layering method what indeed is very similar to oil glazing and very little blending. It gives this "see-trough" effect. I found for myself that perhaps best pastels for this style of work are Holbeins, but also have plenty of Girault here and various pastel pencils and charcoal. All together does the job and PastelMat is the perfect playground for it.
WoW...So Pretty!
Thank You, Sue!
