Chirrup - Part 1 (Sparrow on a stirrup) Pastelmat
Added 2021-01-02 07:00:02 +0000 UTCPart 1 of the little Sparrow from Katy Ferrari's photo.
Very speedy this one, I've chosen to create darks and lights first as the line art is confusing. Dark Grey Pastelmat either board or the sheet, and the image is 5.5x7.5" so choose a piece of pastelmat a couple of inches bigger all the way round.
This will work well on the white pastelmat, and if you're using a hot press paper I would suggest burnishing in between layers.
Can't wait to see your versions - please don't forget to credit Katy and me :)

Hi Melissa, I get more pencil dust when working on the darker colour and using pablos more - it's minimal though - I have a dust allergy and I can cope :)
