..with my own set of pastels this time...so yes, i recently made a trip to the art store and got some new cool stuff to play with...got some raw charcoal sticks instead of the pencil, some compressed charcoal and a set of some basic soft pastels...
since I am new to pastels, I am trying some basic things to learn the technique..the thing I luv about pastels is how well they blend!! I had to blend so much for this particular sketch. There wasn't a single color to shade this sky..I had to mix 3-4 colors to get the affect. But there is so much more to learn including how to handle the messiness that comes free with pastels - my hands, my white mac and my white bed-sheet - all looked pretty colorful after I was done!!
anyhow this is just something I need to get used to I guess and it isn't all that bad afterall.
and thus another weekend just went by..gosh time flies..this is one thing I am always short of! I wish there were 36 hours in a day and human body could replenish with 5 hours of sleep instead of 8-10. sorry I drift away I know..
i am off now..keep watching the space for more :-)
