jo's picks - week 8: PASTEL

What a week! Perfect pastel-coloured pictures, and plenty of punters who ventured out of their comfort zones to try out pastels as a medium. Willingness to experiment has been such an important part of my journey as an artist so far and I hope it has inspired a few new pastel-lovers among you.  Below are just a few of the illustrations that caught my attention this week and made me think I should take my set of Rembrandt pastels out of retirement too! Thank you for creating so much pastel-love on the wall this week, I hope you enjoy this selection as much as I did.
