Exploring Chalk Pastels:

Some friends, who know I enjoy trying out various art forms, asked if I had ever painted/drawn with chalk pastels? While I have worked with oil pastels before, I had never tried the chalk counterpart, due to cost of purchasing yet another medium (I already work with four), but that I would be delighted to give it a try in the future. They very nicely surprised me with a box of artist quality chalk pastels the following week, for which I am very grateful, and I had the opportunity to work with them on this piece.
I used a traditional approach to the medium, scraping off flecks of chalk off the stick with a knife, and then taking my Flat Wash brush, I gently brushed the chalk out with water—forming a watercolor-like consistency.
