A Fishing Boat on the Seabank Pastels

A fishing boat on the seabank and drawn in pastels.

I drew the outline of the boat on to paper and then spread a pastel shade on the back of that same paper so that it covers my boat outline . I then placed the paper of the boat with the pastel facing onto the pastelmat card and I used a pencil to draw round the drawing, which then transferred the outline of the boat onto the card.

I then used pan pastels with pastel tools and sponges to create the background and I also used pastel pencils for some of the detail.

The card is Clairefontaine Pastelmat card, this is my preferred choice of card when I use pastels, I feel the pastels cling better.
I have left a border so when handling the art you don’t touch the art, although it’s been fixed with a spray it still can be damaged if touched.

The art is 18x24cm in size, this includes the border.

Postage: Royal Mail second class , I will cover the art with some paper, then put it in a thick crystal clear sleeve and place it in a hard backed envelope for extra protection.
