VIDEO: Making An Acrylic Paint And Pastel Doodle Painting

Acrylic paint and soft pastel doodle on kraft paper by Kim Dellow

 

I thought I would break out the soft pastels for today’s pastel doodle project. Do you use them? They aren’t the first coloring material that I usually reach for but I thought it would be fun play with them and see what I could do. I am using them with acrylic paint so I have some tips on how to use paper masks to get beautiful block shapes and then lots of tips on how to use soft pastels. 

 

Let me know how you get on with them and scroll on down this post to see a some more of the texture of the pastels on the kraft paper I am using.
