Robyn sent in her picture of the Peaches project asking for some advice. Robyn writes:

"So...a few things...

1. I am still new at pastels and so I'm not always sure if I'm pressing too hard;

2. Blending edges is hard for me. I didn't have as much trouble blending inside the peach, but the outsides look very "fake" to me;

3. What sharpener does he recommend for the pencils? His seem a lot sharper than mine will get.

4. Again...I keep trying for that "realistic" look - but I'm still a novice. I draw from scratch instead of using the print-out for practice. I guess it all takes time.

Also, I had my paper turned the other way...the teeth ran up and down even though my picture was horizontal. Lol. That also made it hard."

Colin offers his advice and feedback on Robyn's points above. To receive advice on your artwork and join our membership click here.
