Here is one of my latest impressionistic still life pieces. A simple piece depicting two pears. This piece was completed by applying soft pastel over modelling paste.

This is my very first piece completed with modelling paste. It’s hard to see the textures through a photography but the modelling paste provides some wonderful ridges. It does however take some getting use to as it doesn’t allow for super fine detail. I’m still experimenting with it to determine exactly how/when I’ll use it throughout my works.
