Daily Study...Pink Lady Apple


5x7 pastel on Canson paper

Today, I decided to work on canson paper. I really don't like this paper, but it is so much cheaper than sanded papers. I thought since it was an apple I would give canson another try. I set this apple in my window (the sun finally came out today for a little while) and pulled my chair close to the window seat...placed my Giraults and Nupastels on it and started to sketch. This is what a true sketch looks like in pastels...unfinished! I think I might try some of my softer pastels on this paper next time...I have seen a few blogs that the artist used canson and only used softer pastels. Nupastel is one of the hardest pastels and Girault is a medium pastel. I think I'll try Ludwigs next time.
