This is a digital pastel I did in Painter 2015.
I finally have done a piece I’m happy with. I have struggled with my art lately. I know what I want, but I can’t get the message from my brain to the paper.
I am trying to keep my work much looser. This, I think, is crucial to getting good results.
I used my pastel brushes that I made in Painter 2015 for this pastel. I am trying to get the effect of dry pastels.
Best of all, I had a lot of fun doing this pastel.
Fabulous Kerry – Love it! Glad you are posting again!

Yes! I think you have achieved the effect of dry pastels.
I like this one, too. Nice use of light and dark, and I think the composition as a whole works, too.
Hugs, /c

It’s very interesting! And I mean that in the most positive way – I found myself looking at it for a very long time. I guess maybe intriguing is a better word! I really love the shapes in this one!

Thanks, Tricia. I really appreciate what you said. Something I forgot to mention is that I figured out how to bring paint drips into the piece. I hope to use this technique in the future.

I noticed there was a new element to this piece but I couldn’t figure out what it was! I like it. It brings a new texture in.
