It's definitely your medium.<br /><br />I've found that investing in glassine (to cover) and foam core (to sandwich) creates a good way to ship pastels internationally without huge expense.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-55143679658036697952010-04-08T15:10:25.805-02:302010-04-08T15:10:25.805-02:30Thanks for the info, Jeanette.

I'll treat myself to some other brands to see how I like them when I place my next online order.<br /><br />Julie, I like the foreground of this piece too and lucked into the wave and water movement. The rest of the sea is - well blah. I'll work on that. :)Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-63148698105846762142010-04-06T16:15:06.833-02:302010-04-06T16:15:06.833-02:30This is really quite breathtaking, Jeanette, even ...This is really quite breathtaking, Jeanette, even if you only intended it to be a little trial!

I know you often have problems getting art supplies and hope you were able to get what you wanted.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224954501156534934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-54217702380089166702010-04-06T12:18:12.077-02:302010-04-06T12:18:12.077-02:30Thanks Maree.

I love watching water then trying to capture it on paper.<br /><br />There's just something about water isn't there Vivien?<br /><br />Margaret, its interesting how a change in medium adds a new dimension to work. With drawing - and I love drawing - I am tight and controlled. With virtually most other mediums the impressionist in me takes over.<br /><br />I love the colours of waves Jennifer. The water goes through so many changes and shades of blues, greys and greens.<br /><br />Rhonda, I'm enjoying playing with these pastels. I haven't done so for years. Its as if I've found an old friend.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-25778831120637380362010-04-06T10:23:49.406-02:302010-04-06T10:23:49.406-02:30It definitely looks like a piece to be taken serio...It definitely looks like a piece to be taken seriously :) Beautiful colors, great rendering of the waves crashing and the whitecaps, lovely!

My drawings are much more interpretative rather than stiff and self conscious. I also like oil pastel for the vibrant colours and the ability to layer and scratch back. They suit my working method better.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-10910992480240406112010-04-06T06:13:39.602-02:302010-04-06T06:13:39.602-02:30not a serious piece? it's lovely and beautif...not a serious piece? it's lovely and beautifully observed - and my favourite subject too :>)vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-43250287599909906322010-04-06T02:00:34.876-02:302010-04-06T02:00:34.876-02:30BEAUTIFUL surf Jeanette!
