I love love love playing with new media! I'd heard so much talk about pan pastels I decided to give them a try. My hubby and I took a weekend a few months ago and did
Donna Downey's online pan pastel classes. Super fun and very informative!
This is my first project using them. Of course I had to throw in paint, ink, molding paste and other fun goodies as well. All in all, a super forgiving media that's lots of fun to play with.

| Lots of texture and paint drippy goodness. |
 |
| Before starting, I loaded up the blank page with lots of thick gesso. The result is lots of lines of texture that were a nice ground for the pan pastels. You can see these lines in the yellow part of the background. |
 |
| I used molding paste through a stencil to get these raised impressions. Pan pastels work great over the tops of the molding paste sections. |
 |
| A good starting place. Lots of spray ink, pan pastels, and gesso. |

| Focal point details. The butterflies are made of wood. |
