Step 2

To make the ground suitable for pastel painting, apply a layer of the Schmincke Transparent primer (50516). Use a wide brush or a smaller paint roll. Let the primer dry.

Step 3

Use the photo as a pattern and make an outline sketch of the roses with the white chalk pen.

Step 4

Now the pastel work starts. Paint the shapes of the flowers with the lighter rose colours. For a delicate background blur the pastel application slightly with your finger.

Step 5

Now the flowers will be painted with more intense rose and red shades as well as with the lightest colours and white. Thus, you create shadow and light areas. Flower bottoms and enclosed petals will be pointed out using yellow and ochre colours.

Step 6

For the background, you can use the colours green, Vandyke brown as well as neutral grey in different graduations. Stalks and deep shadows will be accentuated even more.

Step 7

Finally use the white pastel stick to underline some last lights.

The finished pastel painting. Created by Claudia Möller from the Schmincke Lab.Important: Pastel paintings always remain sensitive. Therefore, they should only be treated with a special fixative after finishing work. We recommend for example Schmincke Pastel Fixa-tive AEROSPRAY (50402) or Pastel Fixative (50068). Spray from left to right and top to bottom from ca. 30 cm. Make the change in spray direction away from the picture. The intensity of colour might slightly be increased.
