Pastel on Wallis paper
The azaleas were especially beautiful this year. The freezing cold made the flowers even more beautiful than usual. This plein air pastel painting is on Wallis paper. I did a watercolor wash first and then put the pastels on top. I like to use Wallis paper because you can wet it. Pastel is a wonderful medium in that it doesn't lose its color like oils. It has been used by prominent artists for years.
