Impressionist pastel painting with hard and soft pastels

The painting is a combination of hard and soft pastels. website: https://www.steveelliottart.co.uk Digital painting channel:    / steveelliottart   Facebook   / steveelliottart   Instagram #stevethescribbler Twitter #steveelliottart -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where you can buy my stuff: https://www.redbubble.com/people/stev...
