Pastel - Ink and Link

Pastels called to me this morning.  Actually they have been calling for a few days.  I only had a short while to work on this so a sketch for the Scavenger Hunt.


 Number 5, 6 and 7 - bowl, animal and cup.  This is on the wiped off piece of Pastelbord, 9 x 12 inches.  I may work on it again to correct the bowl and make the whole thing lighter and brighter.  


 And the set up.

Later we went to a check up for Gene. All good, back in 6 months.   I sketched with a Micron 03 in my small Canson regular paper sketchbook.  We moved several times for lab, see the doctor and a shot, so my size on my hands is a bit off.  It was fun to work in spurts. 


 Number 8 art supplies - sketchbook, pen and hands.

 

I have followed Julian Mero-Smith for years.  A daily painter that probably started the popular movement a few years ago.  Right now, Plein Air has taken over.  I still follow several artists that continue to paint daily.  I love these strawberries.  They are in a basket, haven't seen those in years.  You can look at more of his work by clicking on previous or next.  His still life work is my favorite.
