What to paint? I had a few possible reference photos collected but just before I left home, my mum, excited about some Iceland Poppies that a neighbour had brought over, sent me a couple of photos of them as a possible subject. Beautiful!! I decided to choose one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After I painted my first demo, I had planned on choosing a totally different subject for my second piece, but on reviewing the photos my mum had sent, I decided to work from a photo of the Iceland Poppies that looked completely different from the first one. I liked the idea of the same subject with an alternative look!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll take you through the progress of both demos. Neither of them <g class=\"gr_ gr_10 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"10\" data-gr-id=\"10\">are<\/g> finished but for now, I\u2019m pleased with the way they are looking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>In the first demo painting, I used the full spectrum of the value scale from light to dark. In the second one, I moved my value scale up into the lighter section. (This blog relates to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"the previous blog (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/2019\/06\/the-value-scale-how-thumbnail-values-relate-to-your-painting\/\" target=\"_blank\">the previous one<\/a> I wrote about moving up or down the value scale.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pastels used are of course Schmincke. I set myself the challenge of choosing only pastels from their 20-piece wooden box set. I have to admit that a couple of times I was tempted to reach for other colours (outside the set) but thought, No Gail, stick with what you have and make it work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s have a look. First off, have a look at the box of Schmincke pastels that I selected colours from for both demos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:28px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_7279-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Wooden box of 20 Schmincke soft pastels used for both Iceland Poppies demos\" class=\"wp-image-10859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_7279-copy.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_7279-copy-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_7279-copy-768x240.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_7279-copy-640x200.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_7279-copy-624x195.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>Wooden box of 20 Schmincke soft pastels used for both Iceland Poppies demos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the progression of my first demo &#8211; from the reference image and thumbnail to the outcome:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtopastel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_2820-copy-765x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Reference photo for my first demo.
