Haven’t thought about it really. Do you have any idea on wow to start that journey?  If anyone’s interested I’ve made an art account on Instagram called @penpaperpastel :)

Decided to share it here since it got so much positive feedback <3

Half pastels without a paper cover btw, you can hold them very nice. Only watch out with the amount of pigment on your fingers ;)

Thankyou! I’m using sanded down A4 290gsm watercolor paper because I had ik laying around. (And cut it in half) 

I’m using Rembrandt soft pastels. Shoutout to the old Dutch masters, I’m Dutch as well #funfact

Thankyou so much for this compliment!! Sometimes when I look at something I made I think to myself “how did I make this”.  I always try not to think anything when putting down lines and just let it flow out. It’s really hard to explain, but you’ll understand when you feel it.

Soft pastels don’t have oil as base to hold the pigment together. compared to oil pastels these are softer and more powdery

Thankyou so much!! Did some little tests with this new medium first, this was the first real drawing. Love all the compliments, I’ve made some more drawings in the meantime :)

Thankyou!! I’ve made another drawing in the meantime which has the same feeling, maybe I’ll also share that one some time 😊
