Pastel still life (1)

Using soft pastels for the first time. My first attempt I felt frightened to make the marks.. I really didnt know how the pastel would blend or rub. It started off very boxy and I think i was over rubbing and losing the good bits I had liked.. Plus I didnt realise till the 2nd try that the pastel mixed well to make another colour.. ie,  pink, brown and purple made a darker muddy colour for shadows. 






Look at the colour difference between my two shoes here (above and below)




I like doing this as it made me look at the Negative spaces.and angles. Plus how colours sit next to each other.. Also not overworking your marks.. Will try and make time dor more.
