Pastel Chalk Fun!

My first attempt at working with this medium.

Pastel chalks are a new art medium for me and I think I am in love!

I love how the picture comes alive with every stroke of the chalk pencil, this is a picture of my daughters cat, its my first attempt and rough around the edges, it only took me about an hour, I was limited on time but eager to try my new chalk pencils out!

It will need to take some time and find some patience to perfect my technique. For me however, I choose to create for relaxation and if I put an expectation of perfection on myself then it loses all its joy. I have been using art for many years to help calm myself and keep me grounded. It’s a way for me to escape. Over the years I have created some dark and interesting pictures, that have depth and meaning to me, it has helped me through some difficult times and it never judges, its just there and lets me be and feel outside of myself.

However, I do strive to improve my techniques, especially since I would love to create fur baby portraits for family and friends in the not so distant future, but for now I will enjoy the experience as I learn, grow and have fun with this new to me art medium!

Thanks for stopping by, may you be blessed this day and every day and remember it costs nothing to be kind.
