'Pile of Pears' 8x10 pastelWe are going to be painting fruit tonight in class so I thought I'd get some practice with these pears. I had fun with these trying a new technique I read about in Bill Creevy's Pastel Book. He has all kinds of interesting things to try with pastels and other materials. For this one, I used pastel pencils at the end to make some lines/scratches on my pears...click the photo to get a closer look. The best pencil was actually a broken one the just scratched and exposed the under layers. I will be trying this again!
Nice color and composition in this piece!

I really like the effect of the pencils on top of the soft pastels. Somehow, it adds so much depth. Nice painting.
