Pen-y-Fan

As well as the onboard watercolour Art Classes, I've brought along my Schmincke soft pastels travelling set, 3 Sennelier soft pastels that I bought in Cardiff the other month, and a small set of Derwent pastel blocks. The latter aren't the best pastels in the world, but I bought them second hand (and unused) and they have a few different colours that are useful. I also have some card for pastels. So after breakfast this morning I headed for the coffee shop and completed this offering.  I also managed to pick up some Bristows 'natural hold' hairspray, no not for me, but to 'fix' the drawing.  Completing the artwork, made for a good talking point. There is at least one thing that I would do different if I know how.  I don't know how; so at this moment in time, this is as good as it gets folks.  

Ps I had the common sense and good manners to clean up after me, and to go outside onto Deck 7 to spray the drawing.
