STARTING WITH SPRING

The Laburnum Arch in Wales' Bodnant Garden features beautiful flowers in spring, when it becomes

a vast, vibrant cascade of golden yellows and greens. Try creating your own pastel painting of this

gorgeous springtime scene, or use these tips whenever you paint flowers and trees.

COLOR PALETTE

Peach pink, dark brown, mid-brown, pale pink, dark green, mid-green, light green, golden yellow,

mid-yellow, pale yellow, bright blue, mid-blue, pale blue, dark purple, mid-purple, and white

When beginning a pastel artwork, start with a loosely drawn subject. Gently outline where you want

to place each element.
