I started pastel painting with a series of flower pastels that I made between 2001-2004. It was busy time in my life, and painting was a way of relaxing and escaping the mental stress. Painting and drawing small portraits of live flowers or other simple subjects with pastels, colored pencils or markers is something doable even when there is not a lot of time to spare.
