Pastel paintings

I started my art career in oils in 1995 and gradually shifted to watercolor in 2010, but a couple of years ago when I tried pastel I feel I was hooked and at the present time I work in watercolor and pastels, and sometimes I combine them together.

 

I love pan pastels for their transparency. It reminds me a watercolor somehow.
