I sketch/painted for about 1.5 hours for my pastel class and for the Scavenger Hunt. We've been studying the vibrations between complementary colors like red/green, yellow/purple.... Also turquoise/yellow and magenta/blue. For the Scavenger Hunt I used the sketch for the item "from nature"...

I sketched on the porch. Just about an hour to enjoy the beautiful day. A bit windy but so nice just to be outside. This is on a 5 x 7 inch Pastelbord. I wiped off a dark green surface that previously held red poinsettias. Our prompt in the Scavenger Hunt was "waterscape". I took a...

This is cross posted in the Scavenger Hunts from Life as a sketch today. Similar Pastel 8 x 10 on Lux Archival paper I'm trying out this new paper suggested by Karen Margulis. It is nice and supposed to hold 30 layers or so and accept wet underpaintings. I did an alcohol under painting and...

Aspen Memories, Pastel on Pastelbord, 14 in x 11 in I did this from a couple of photos and memories from the mountains. It was on a wiped off board with an under painting. I fiddled with it more than I intended, but I did complete a studio pastel. Critiques are always welcome. It is not...

Practicing a bit of transparency and for the Scavenger Hunt, items "made of glass" and "something sweet." Seeing Red Pastel on recycled paper, maybe Pastel Card, I wiped off and older sketch. A variety of soft pastels. 7 x 9.5 inches.

Bedraggled, pastel on UArt 400, 8 x 8 inches Flower was a prompt for the Scavenger Hunts. We sketch from life and the only flower here was this bedraggled geranium that barely lived through the hot Texas summer with something like 90 days over 100º F. It is finally starting to bloom and we...

It was great to get out on the porch and paint. Beautiful day, on and off cloudy. I recycled a piece of UArt paper. It had a mostly red still life. I wiped and brushed it off and wet with alcohol and left some drips along the bottom. UArt paper takes a lot of taping down, it curls I guess...

I finally managed to get outside and paint, even if it was just on the back porch looking across the easterly pond. What a great feeling and lovely cloudy day. Pastels on wiped off UArt. After brushing off the old painting (a mostly red still life), I washed it with alcohol and left some...

Hanging, Pastel on recycled Pastelbord, 8 x 10 inches, a mixture of soft pastels. The item for the Scavenger Hunt was Hanging. I would have liked to have clothes hanging on a line but our Hunts are from life and I didn't have any clothes hanging on the line. These toys and bags and balloon...
