This was just using Versamark on a stamp and then going over with another colour on the top. It was quite exciting to see (as in the top leaf) where one colour touched the edges and gave a variation. If you use the lighter colours (tints) you get quite a nice shadow effect. I love doing this with them.
This was where I used Versamark and a large background stamp. I really do like this idea and it will make for lovely mounts, especially if you experiment and tie in the colours with something in the main image. I then stamped the poppies and just coloured them in with one of the pointy tools and sleeves. Don't forget that you can erase the PP's quite easily so any smudges when colouring in like this can easily be taken out. It was a bit too intricate to cut out all the stems but it does look a little strange with the white showing. Still I used the excuse that it is only in my 'experimental book'.
I will leave it there for today, tomorrow is an Artful Times blog entry which is scheduled and funnily enough features PP's as well. Then on Saturday I will upload my final two pages (final as in how much I have done at the moment, not as in finished book) of experimental work for you to see.
I would love to see your experiments with the Pastels.
