Been experimenting with small floral paintings using the same pastel technique I have used for landscapes recently. Been fun playing around with the underpainting colours and seeing what happens.

Warm-ups/cool-downs done today! I want to post more art between bigger pieces, so I want to try doing quick underpaints like these to polish in between bigger pieces C:

Welp a lil bonus since I had the layers saved, here's my work progress for this specific piece 😌
Used the pen pressure + binary brush for the sketch and underpaint this time to create the guideline for the painterly shapes!
