Hi there!

In today’s video I am going to be diving in to my new mini series on backgrounds. Today I am working with Soft/Chalk Pastels. I will be showing some examples, giving tips and then we will color three different backgrounds together.

Let me know if you have any questions!!
Thanks for stopping by!
