Red Wine part 1 - Pastels

Here is the first of three (or four depending if I've had enough of drawing the same picture) of the same picture using different media. This first uses pastel pencils.

Schwan Stabilo pastel pencils on A5 Bristol Board.

After reacquainting myself with pastels after a number of years this was a gentle challenge. And now I remember how messy they are and careful I have to be in handling the picture and keeping the pastels 'clean'!!! In the past I've worked with bigger sizes, so this smaller A5 size was a different challenge.
