"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone" Neale Donald Walsch
I
have had a few days of not being in a happy place, painting wise.
Nothing was going right. I thought I had forgotten all I knew about
painting. What was going on?
I had started a painting that was giving me so many problems because the board I was painting on was very rough and didn't accept the pastel in a way I was used to at all. What a struggle. I finally went back to it today and wrestled my way through it. Still not happy!
I started a new painting on a board that I love and am familiar with. Wow! What a difference. Here is the progression...
This is my charcoal sketch which carefully included the values I will be wanting to remember as I paint.
First rough in that follows the map I have laid out. I was happier already.
The latest version may have some tweaks added, but I think I have found my happy place again!
Hope you are having fun playing with your pastels!
