After we had been using chalk pastels a while, Nana gave us this BIG box of 144 chalk pastels. And, because we love them so much and know that they will bless you too – we want to give a brand new box to one of you, along with a gift certificate to chalkpastel.com! Because you ARE an artist with chalk pastels.

Since we have been sharing chalk pastel art tutorials, we have always suggested starting with the student grade alphacolor set of 12 pastel sticks. A starter set is currently $6.40. You can get these at your local arts and crafts store, like Michael’s. This student grade starter set is what we started with and shared among our five children. You can even break a chalk pastel stick in half to share. Chalk pastels are frugal!
Now for the Chalk Pastels giveaway!
Simply follow the instructions on the rafflecopter widget below to enter to win the Alphacolor Chalk Pastels set valued at $44.95 and gift certificate to chalkpastel.com valued at $25:

May 30, 2016 at 8:42 AMMy favorite is the first tutorial I tried “Path to the Beach” because I realized I can create a beautiful picture 🙂 My son’s favorite is “Christmas Tree in Snow” (it is proudly displayed in his Nonna’s home). All of the tutorials are wonderful and we look forward to seeing new ones. (Also appreciating the acrylic tutorials!) Thank you Tricia and Nana for all the inspiration!

May 30, 2016 at 12:53 PMAh! The very first tutorial we shared here at Hodgepodge six years ago. My favorite too because that is when Nana introduced us to the joy of pastels. And I love that your son’s Christmas Tree in Snow is displayed at his Nonna’s house. Thanks Kryste!

June 4, 2016 at 11:08 PMMy kids are addicted to chalk pastels. They started with the bird nest and have been working their way through the tutorials. It is fun to watch them create their own designs too. I especially like listening to them teach their siblings how to complete a particular pastel. They are indeed becoming artists! Thank you!

June 5, 2016 at 10:10 PMI love love love the video tutorials because while I have several of the ebooks I’m such a visual learner it helps me to see them in action 🙂
