Japanese scene: pastel pencils









I bought some pastel pencils when they were on sale last week. 36 Stabilo CarbOthello pencils for $36... a bargain at 70% off!

This is the second time I've used them. They make lovely, soft colours and are fun to smudge. Also, landscapes are so much more forgiving than portraits.

Tomorrow I will swap this picture for a loaf of bread. There is a baker/art student/phd student who is doing a project where he will give you a loaf of sourdough bread in exchange for anything you think is worth a loaf of bread. Today I gave him my first pastel drawing in exchange; tomorrow I'll give him my second.
