Drawing: Pastel

Last year I took a pastel drawing class at the excellent Chapel Cottage Studio in Llanddewi Rhydderch near Abergavenny in Monmouthshire, Wales. Our teacher, Shan Egerton, let us choose and arrange items for a still life drawing. I liked the juxtaposition of this light blue enamel pitcher and the burgundies and oranges of a bunch of grapes. The pitcher reflects the strong light of a sunny autumn day, contrasting the dull pewter tankard.
