I'm getting excited about how this study is coming along. On the left is a postcard of Félix Vallotton's "Baigneuse sur un rocher" - Bather on a rock.

I'm new to pastels, and this is Pastelmat paper - it's a fun exercise. We'll see if I can make the pastels opaque enough for the skin tone..

A day with stormy weather to fix my drawing at the residency of this wonderful place, where I sat half in the water on a little stone island to draw. Softpastel and colored charcoal on light green pastelmat paper on A3 size. Made during my three week long residency at Water and Rock nature @waterandrock.nature on the green Greek island of Thassos. #rocksandwater #waterandrock #waterandrockresidency #thassos #thassos_greece #thassosisland #rockdrawing #pasteldrawing #pastelmat #softpasteldrawing #softpastellandscape #softpastelnaturedrawing #naturedrawing #natureinspired

@Tamami thank for the #pastelMat mention. I am new to actually doing pastel and appreciate any tips I can glean from posts like yours!

This wolf was a huge pleasure to draw — except for the last ten minutes when I got impatient to finish 😄 With thanks to Bonny Snowdon for the tutorial and Susan Richardson for the reference photo! #WildlifeArt #Wolf #Wolves #ColouredPencils #Pastelmat #CanadianArtist #WildlifeArtist

Last week I worked on this drawing. My first try on tan toned pastelmat with colored pencils. A Teckel x Jack Russel. #jackrussel #teckel #animalart #mastoart #art #pastelmat #coloredpencils #colouredpencils #animalportraits #pets #petportraits #dogs

Does anyone have a tip? For the first time I tried pastelmat. I made this drawing, as an experiment, of my Japanese spitz as a puppy, with coloured pencils. But I just can't get the white better, it still looks greenish and I put lotssss of layers on it. What do you think? Any tips and tricks for me? Hope so! Maybe I chose the wrongh papercolour for this work? #pastelmat #coloredpencils #drawing #dogs #pencilart #art #japanesespitz
