Hello friends! Today I have a quick and easy tutorial for you on painting waterlilies with cheap soft pastels.
For those of you who watched to the end, do not worry, the injury mentioned was only a skinned knee;) The pastels I used were Marie’s brand and cost $10 at Jerry’s Artarama BUT the name on the package has changed to Charvin and the price is still on sale for $10. You can find the pastels here. I am not affiliated with Jerry’s but I do order from them from time to time. I have also tried these with water and they are nice that way too. They are like a richly pigmented chalk and the package says that they are highly light-fast. Not bad for $10! I like to find cheaper alternatives that work as well as the pricey counterparts. I hope you enjoyed this easy pastel tutorial, and til next time happy crafting!

I enjoy seeing how to use different mediums. I think I do have some pastels in my stash. I will have to dig them out and try them.

LOL! So glad it was only a skinned knee. Thanks for the soft pastel tutorial. I’m looking forward to playing around with mine. Can you colour a stamped image with them? I’ll try! Cheers.
