I started to add the soft pastels to the grid work I posted last week. I have never worked with pan pastels until now, and I think I have found a new material that I love greatly! The pan pastels are applied with applicators that look similar to makeup applicators. It is difficult to use them, but experimenting has been fun. I continue to explore place. When I finish this piece I intend to juxtapose it against city scenes where I work. Then I will cut our and remove areas that I visually find to be different in both city locations. Hopefully, the visuals will generate greater understanding once I complete both pieces.
