Painting with Pastels

Two years ago at a homeschool convention, I purchased a DVD lesson on painting with Pastels.  I had no idea what that meant...but I thought it looked interesting.  Fast forward 26 months, and I finally opened the DVD case and put the disc in the player.

Today, the kids and I invited Yaya over to try our hands at painting a "Peaceful Lake" with pastels.

First, we made cardboard easels this weekend.  Apparently, they worked really well.


We followed the DVD, step by step.

 I love that we all had access to the same pastels and we all followed the same instructions, yet our projects looks very different.
