My effort was on black paper, using Caran d'Ache Neo-pastels, gouache and some coloured pencil. I quite liked the effect of the gouache over the waxy pastels - another technique which could come in useful in mixed media paintings.

Abstract
The challenge at our monthly art workshop yesterday was to make an abstract composition. Quite a few of us were unfamiliar with this concept, but we were given a brief explanation and shown some examples of other artists' work to get us started. It certainly made a change from our usual subject matter and, judging from the quiet concentration for a couple of hours, we all entered into the spirit of exploration.
