Working with Pan Pastels

It been very cold here in CT these past few weeks and the perfect time to paint. I bought some pan pastels after I viewed a demo on their website. I started this pastel with the pan pastels to block it into a Canson paper. Then I used regular harder pastels to put in more detail.  I love the pan pastels. Its like painting with pallet knives with sponges on the ends. You can get a painterly effect or smooth it all you want. But I may try it on another surface as I felt I could not layer a lot. Enjoy-more to come!
