I sketched on a piece of Colourfix pastel card, 9 x 12 inches. It is the one with the unicorn. Magic turned it from a unicorn to a bowl of fruit. Amazing.
Pastels are quick for sketching. You can fill in the color in just a few minutes. This is not a finished drawing, many things necessary for a finished painting. Too bad I can't put these pastel sketches in the huge sketchbook. http://jocastilloartblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/happy-new-year-sketches-for-hunt-434.html It would fill up much quicker.
The Longhorns won their game last night against UT San Antonio. Very bizarre! Final score was 11 - 2. The Longhorns posted 8 runs in the 6th inning with only 1 hit as I recall, and it was a blooper. So many walks and a couple of hit by pitcher moments. Our Longhorn offense has to show up sooner or later. We start conference play on Thursday against TCU. TCU is about #6 in the country at the moment. The Longhorns are way down, about 100, I imagine. Hook 'em Horns!

I recently wiped off a painting so that I could use the Wallis paper that it was on. It did not inspire me like a fresh sheet of paper usually does. I think I need to do an underpainting on that particular paper. Excuses.
Bag Blog, I know what you mean. Sometimes there is a ghost image left and I turn it upside down or whatever. Wetting it seems to smooth it out and blend the color. Good for practice and with good paper like that you may get a great painting. Ha.
It's kind of amazing that you can reuse a piece of paper that much with pastels. I like the little clementines. :-)
Joanna, thank you. Glad you spotted the little clementines. They don't have many traits to distinguish them.
