Thanks so much Ruth! I’d love to have you as a student in one of my workshops! Maybe one of these days I’ll be invited to teach out in your neck of the woods. In the meantime, I’ll continue to develop online courses. The Beginner’s course is almost done!!!

Hi Ruth, I’m glad you found it too!! A small kit just makes it so much easier to travel with your pastels. And thank you for your seriously awesome comparison on my style with Tony Allain’s!
And my apologies, when I reread my post I see that you mistook the sale to be on the Unison pastels when really the ‘they’ relates to my pastels done during the 31-in-31 Challenge being on sale until the end of November.

Hah hah! Sometimes the obvious things are the things that elude us! Glad you will stash a bag in your car from now on 😀

Glad you discovered some new pieces here! And who says ‘Ready’ isn’t available? I’m pretty sure it still is 🙂
Trying to match real-life colours is a losing proposition and can also, surprisingly, lead to a boring painting. So it’s wonderful that you have given that up! Values, values, values – on going learning when it comes to this aspect of colour!

Thank Stacy! I know you will find using this small set useful AND a challenge. Just keep at it!
Yes, if I am travelling really light (e.g. only carry-on) I work wherever is available be that my lap (on a board), or on the bed, or on the table. I put down a large cut-open garbage bag underneath me and my board to catch all the dust.Depending on what’s available, I might also put a sheet or two of paper towel or a piece of cloth under the edge of the board. Hope that helps!

Oh Philippa, that makes putting this blog together so worth it! Thank you!!
