I wanted to share one of my favorite places introduced to me by my husband Josh. His grandparents live on Nantucket Island, a small island off the coast of Massachusetts. He has visited them since he was a toddler and he fell in love with it. 7 years ago he took me for the first time and I have adored it since.

This is a big step towards switching over to digital illustration. I am impressed with the product thus far even with only having an hour or two to experiment with it.

I love working in pastels because they have such vibrant colors that can really add to the beauty of art. I never thought that I would switch away from them. I started to realize that the pros of working on the computer might outweigh the cons.

Unfortunately I learned today that my scanner does not do pastels justice! They are made of little crystals so when the light from the scanner shines on it, it changes the appearance.
