On my easel

Since my last post in June I have been in France, to see (and to participate in) some pastel exhibitions and to conduct an interview for the Pastel Journal. I don't bring a full set of pastels with me, so I tend to start an underpainting with hard pastels such as Nupastels or Rembrandt, and bring the unfinished work (or ébauche) back to the studio to complete. So here are a selection of works in progress that I will post on as they progress.
