I've finally managed to get back to my artwork.  I felt as if I'd forgotten all I've learned over the last year, but as I get going it's all coming back to me.  I've decided to do a picture of a lighthouse near where we stayed in Maine some years ago, and I'm using some Wallis Pro Board that I received over Christmas.  My husband gave me two sample packs of all different pastel surfaces, many of which I've not used before, so it'll be interesting to see which ones I prefer.  Probably the most expensive!  That's usually the way it goes!  This picture shows my pastel set up, or at least some of it, there's also a complete set of Nupastel off to the side and some Rembrandt's that are not shown.
