This afternoon was my first pastel class. I had a great time and enjoyed meeting everyone and sharing with you. I am posting the demos I did for the class. We talked about the different ways to apply pastels. The first pear is done with the side of the pastel...no blending. The second pear is done using only linear strokes and the third pear is blended. Everyone had a chance to try these techniques with their own pear. Everyone did a wonderful job and I am looking forward to our next class! Now I have a plate of pears that will just have to be painted this week before I eat them!

I really like these pears. I am a budding artist and am quite enjoying drawing w/ pencils - pastels I find a bit too dificult as yet to get any control w/ - I hope that comes w/ practice.
Karen, thank you so much for posting this. I'm going to try to do some pears this week. I purchased some artificial pears from a craft store in the flower section. I'm slow with projects so real fruit would go bad before I could get started.
Thank you for your comment! You are right...it will get easier with practice. Good luck with your painting!
Karen
