That was fun! Was interested in the soft pastels because I’ve started adding them in to my watercolor work - after it’s dry, of course. I love the results but question myself as to whether I’m combining them to play with mixed mediums or am I trying hide my errors under pastels. The inner critic is shaking its finger at me screaming “cheating”. But I like the result. Enough about it. Thank you Helen for showing us your new toys!

That's the kind of thing I do with oil pastels and coloured pencils, and I also felt like it's cheating, but now I just don't care as much - my art is allowed to be whatever I want it to be!!!

You would need to download the app called 'Painnt' to your phone - search for it in your device's app store, and follow the instructions within the app. I used the filter called Bart Soul.

The Qiaomei brand is said to be artists quality, not so sure about that, but they do look rich. In trying to find them at first I fell across a site and found a book of 20 100% cotton fine grain pages in a block for a total of £7.13. So I bought one, but I don't know whether it's coming from China or Spain. 🤔 Just seemed like a bargain, but we'll see. Damn it, you do get me buying stuff that I said I no longer would. 🤗

It's honestly an issue I have been thinking quite a bit about lately, and want to look at in more detail. It kind of depends on what the definition of an artist is. That varies a lot, so I've been thinking about a definition that I'm happy with, then deciding if I fit that, and if not, do I want to work towards that, and do I have the potential for that.
