Chalk pastel was always my preferred medium even over paints and colored pencils.

This is not the best paper for soft pastel, it requires a lot of fixative to stay in place, but I just love the color 🤎🧡 21/1000 • 20/January/2024 • 14.5x14.5cm • Soft pastel on paper • Stabilo CarbOthello chalk-pastel pencils • Canson Iris Vivaldi Color 185g/m2 color paper #1000spheres

T-j. Chalk pastel pencils on Pastelmat paper.

I have been making portraits of folks who come to Green Wood Coalition's Art Hive in Cobourg, ON, Canada since January, 2024. Every Wednesday, Canadian Mental Health staff join their clients around the tables and make art together, drink coffee or tea and enjoy donated baked goods. Our sessions are facilitated by Port Hope artist/photographer, Lee Higginson. The atmosphere in the hive is that of a loving family reunion. I look forward to my time there every week.

When I get set up at the edge of the room, I find someone who has not been painted and ask them if they'd like their portrait done. Last Wednesday, a young lady whose portrait I painted last year, brought her friend M-j over to me, suggesting I paint her portrait. How could you not want to paint this lady's portrait!!???

It's #mermay, and there are x prompt lists 🧐. Here's at least one mermaid. Didn't draw in a while, yet I was inspired.
A6 with pastel chalk carbothello.

Mermaid with long alga hair and scaled skin, with two fish they observe that are swimming between their hands, and with bubbles surrounding them. A6

Per gli amanti di Alice in Wonderland lascio qui anche gli altri disegni che ho fatto.
(Per Alice, a differenza degli altri due, ho utilizzato CarbOthello anziché le vecchie matite acquerellabili)
