| Pastel & watercolour (30x23cms) |
A bunch of grapes from my garden.....there were only four bunches altogether. This painting started out as a watercolour but I was having difficulty getting the right translucent colour for the grapes so I got my pastels out and went over the top.
I don't use pastels very often but I enjoyed working over the watercolour so I'm sure I'll be trying this again.

I have never used pastel but I love the combination watercolour/pastel! It's beautiful, Cathy!
Yum! Looks good enough to eat,

Yes...it works wonderfully!
I've always wondered how you can be precise with pastels - do you sharpen them?

Looks great and so fresh and sweet! :) You did an amazing job with the tones and lighting, and made everything look so convincingly real!
I love the way the light seems to shine right through them. It's truly lovely. nancy
