Clean Up on 617 with Pastels

Pastels were calling this morning.  That is a good thing ... almost a painting!  There were items on the list for cleaning and dusty pastels seemed just the thing.

I recycle paper and other surfaces for sketching.  I wiped off a mountain that was on a piece of Mi-Teintes paper.  That left the dark greyish background and not much tooth.  For a sketch that is fine, not many layers of pastel necessary.

I sketched quickly, about 20 minutes.  That is a good amount of time for sketching, I feel if you go longer it turns into a drawing or painting.

For Scavenger Hunt 617, a recycled Hunt from June 2015.  I'll look and see what I sketched last time.

Number 2, use this to spray
Number 3, use this to wash
Number 4, use this to tidy up


Sketches from June 2015.  A couple of ink and a couple of digis on the iPad.
I didn't look at these first, I might have drawn the same items.  But not so far....

Jennifer Rose, thanks. I'm not sure where the Febreze came from. It is probably 4 years old at least. I wonder if they still make that can? You will see it again a few years down the road. Ha.
