I was very impressed with your drawings and paintings - http://tinyurl.com/c39qlv I like the variety of drawing also, and wish I had discovered pastels before ten years ago. Thank you for your comments! Paul – I know very little about the art or “people of the horn”, but will see what I can discover.

Like yourself I work in all mediums including airbrush. I found your site by a weekly download to my email address on airbrush artists. Im self taught in art and over the years have progressed in my study work in Cornish Historical Art Reconstruction work . When I'm not doing commission work or producing my own material, I often like to work in pastel, I like the feel of my touch on the paper that I work on, almost an extension of myself, and I use watercolour paper about 250gsm weight as I find it has enough natural ingress in the paper to hold the medium, I also find pastel a very creative medium to work with, and often allow the colour and pigment to do it's own thing just allow it to happen. Im going to bookmark your page and hope to read about your adventures with art in the future. Paul.J. Cornwall. Great Britain. “Hi Regina”. I read with interest your page on pastels.
