Good for Health Sketch Watercolor

We were watching "All Creatures Great and Small", the older version.  Sort of silly but a way to relax your mind.  I sketched on the footstool in the Canson Mix Media sketchbook, large, full page.  I drew with the Micron 03 and used watercolor for the colors.  I'm still a beginner with watercolor and it almost came out as I planned.  

For Scavenger Hunt 171 https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-171-sep-23-oct-05.8279/

Number 9 good for health - fruit

Things are always changing and that is hard.  The IAPS, International Association of Pastel Societies, is holding its final convention in Albuquerque in June 2026 after 30 years. I went 4 times I think.  Twice with Sue Modrak and once with Regina Burchett and once on my own when Enid Wood was there.  Always fun and learned so much.  The vendors of pastels and equipment were amazing and got my start in pastels.  Hmmmm.  Check it out at https://iapspastel.org/

Here are a few pastel paintings that I like... so many more.  You can see some more  by putting pastels in the search box above or clicking on pastel paintings below.
