Don't know why...they are messy and dusty and everything I do that I like I have to staple it with wax paper to store it. I like pastel pencils also but for larger areas the sticks work better. I combine the two sometimes...especially if I am doing animals...the pencils work so good on fur and eyes. I'm thinking of getting a larger set of hard Nupastels...I thought I hated them but discovered I liked them because I can use them on sketch paper with ease.<br /><br />One of the reasons I think I like pastels is no clean up and if I feel like leaving the pastels out for days or weeks I can. I hate having to wash brushes and pick up my mess when I am painting or through with painting.<br /><br />I try to do landscapes but all of those trees, grass and greens get to me. When I first started painting I did oils (Learned the Bob Ross style) but after awhile I got so bored. you know...oh how lovely another tree painting...yuck...boring! I love painting faces and animals. I like figures also. Always different. Oceans, marine scenes and deserts are okay also but a full time diet of them I would get bored.Linnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055632773640869354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-52504714141599087882009-08-15T22:37:49.660+10:002009-08-15T22:37:49.660+10:00it does, it fits.

Bossy is clearly looking towards home hoping someone is coming to relieve her right then and there. <br /><br />I'm with you though, difficult for me to get into anything other than the face. I work a bit on figures but that's forcing myself. The less time I have to work the less interest I have in learning other subjects.<br /><br />Are you dedicated to a single media, too? I'm stuck right now on Graphite, or more particularly Pastel pencil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-955724470531395922009-08-15T18:55:01.115+10:002009-08-15T18:55:01.115+10:00Linn, I like your cow but I like your "landsc...Linn, I like your cow but I like your "landscape/background " too.
