Elise provided an excellent and informative demonstration of her working methods using a range of pastels.
She started off by laying in the basic sketch with the Pan Pastels with a small sponge. using a range of colours. 
After Applying several coats of colour, this way, she then moved on to adding details with pastel pencils and pastel sticks.
During the whole process she explained what she was doing and how this working practice was successful. There were lots of helpful tips along the way with instances where the work was brought out to show everyone close up, such as in the details of the eye.
A very interesting afternoon watching the painting come alive.
