More members have finished their wild animal pastel pictures from the workshop with Paul Hinks last month.

Chris chose a pine marten as her wild animal and created the picture using bold, colourful pastels. She smudged the pastels in the background which make the pine marten really stand out. The purple, blue and orange colours work so well together.

Angela D’s picture is of the head of a puma. She used several colours of brown, yellow and cream to form the shape of its head. Adding the whiskers on the puma’s muzzle, eyebrows and ears brings the puma to life.

Brenda’s picture of a cute red squirrel scampering over a log with a nut in its mouth is very colourful. She used complimentary colours of red and green to create this bold picture. Several pastel colours of brown and red were used for its fur, with Brenda following the way its fur grows to achieve the furriness.

Mary couldn’t come on the day of the workshop but still created a pastel pictures of elephants. She used warm orange pastel for the lit part of the elephants, with cool purple as the shadow colour. Complimentary colours used to great effect.

Well done, ladies, it’s great to see your finished pastel pictures!
