Paint Party Friday Week 5 - My First!


I'm joining a group of artists in Paint Party Friday! Here is my first piece that I'm submitting. It started out okay, but I felt it needed a little more umpfff, they are chili peppers after all and they carry some umpff.

So here's what I ended up with. I like it and it's finished other than I think I'll sign and date it.

I opened up a new set of Prismacolor Nupastels and I've never used them before (pastels) so I was thrilled when the very first thing I create from them actually pleased me. They were a lot of fun and quick. I wasn't even planning on creating anything, just going upstairs to straighten while Asher did a little creating and I took the plastic off and loved the colors so I had to play.
