I finished this picture today which I worked on for two days.  It was challenging for me because it is done in Pan Pastels which are a different type of pastel.  They consist of pastel which is in a cake form and contained in small round containers which lock together for storage.  They are used with special tools, reminiscent of make up sponges, but more durable. It is fun to work with Pan's but a very different technique and the resulting picture tends to have a softer appearance. (this may not be true for experts, but it's certainly true for me!)

The photo reference was taken at Cadover Bridge, which is a spot in on the edge of Dartmoor in England which we went to as a family when I was a child.  This particular snapshot was taken with the bridge itself behind me and I took it on a trip there with my sister in more recent years.
