Original artwork description:

Here is another painting of tangerines done with pastels. This time, however, I used a mixed technique. I took advantage of the fact that dry pastels work well with some water-based materials. The key is to make sure the paper is moisture resistant. I had a piece of "Pastelmat" pastel paper that was suitable. It's not really paper, it's a thin cardboard. And this paper absorbs water well. I did the first layer of the drawing in watercolour. The dark blue shadows are just watercolour. And then I started the main drawing with pastels. Such a change of materials has its own game, its own pleasure. Well, and of course the use of bright yellow and orange pastels brought me great pleasure._x000D_ Now you can see three pictures in a row with mandarins. They are all done with pastels, but all the fruits look so different on them. Which one do you like best?

Materials used:

Soft pastels, pastel crayons, pastel pencils, Pastelmat
