I wonder if anyone knows the name of this plant. I found it in Madagascar, but I suspect if it is not species endemic to Madagascar :thinking:

I have no clue what type of plant this is, but for your first time with pastels, it’s really good. What kind of paper did you use?

Hi Lori, thank you for your kind words. I always use a Japanese brand paper for my pastel work and I don’t think you can imagine what kind of paper it is by knowing the brand name of the papers. It is not such a thick, heavily toothed paper specially produced for pastels. These special papers are so expensive that I cannot use often while I know there is too much risk of failure. So I use a sort of multipurpose paper which is pretty reasonable :+1:

It looks almost like a rubber plant. Whatever it is, you did a wonderful job. :slightly_smiling_face:

Looks like nobody can identify what this plant is…there are many similar types of plants, but not exactly this one. Anyways, thank you so much for your comment, Mikka :cat:
