Pastels on Black

I finished the morning glories. It was really fun working with the pastel pencils on the black paper. I used Strathmore 400 series black paper in the Field Sketch. I used General's Pastel Chalk pencils. Pastels are so much fun to work with. They lay down color on the papers so easily, are a dream to rub around on the paper with a brush, and can take layers easily.

Today I'm working on a morning glory graphite sketch. It is my first sketch with the new mechanical pencils I bought a couple days ago. So far, I really, really like them. I'll post that sketch when it is done.
