Hi Harley Brown! Thank you for your posted articles relating to pastels. I have been portrait/figurative painting, primarily in oils for many years. In between my commission work I’ve recently enjoyed returning to painting with soft/hard pastels as well as PanPastels. I’ve had a blast! I thoroughly enjoy your work and your podcasts and look forward to learning more from your seasoned experiences with the medium!
