Admittedly, I cannot draw worth a tinker's dam. However, I had this little girl in my head tonight and she just came out on the page. This is in my "Exploration" journal which is a modified sketch book that I do all kinds of weird things and experiments in. This book has rather thin sketch paper. Sometimes I work in it directly, as I did this time, and sometimes I do tip-ins.I was generously given some pan pastels by my friend, Susan Miller and I had been itching to play with them ever since they arrived a couple of weeks ago. So just after eating dinner with the hubs and watching one of our "together" TV programs, this little cutie came out of my head and onto the page.
The pastels I used were Decorating Chalks Kit #3 (pan pastels) by Craf-T Products. Kit 3 has 9 colors ranging from pale yellow to charcoal, and Susan generously sent me 4 other individual colors -- a reddish orange, pink, gold and a soft brown.
I applied all the pastels with a #2 flat sable brush, and rubbed some with my finger to blend. The sketch was completed with a Sakura Gelly Roll pen in black.
Definitely going to play some more and see where all this leads me.
