Catch up time. I've been sketching and playing in the pastels but haven't written or posted the photos.

I played in the pastels for a class with Enid Wood. October was a month for studying lines and how they affect a painting. We tried outlining to move the eye around. This was fun to do. It is on a wiped off piece of Pastelbord, 8 x 10 inches. Fun to do something so different than how I paint normally. Next class is Calligraphic Marks. Many thanks to Enid for sharing her expertise and time with us. She stays so busy with the Austin Pastel Society and her other painting.
The next class we were going to use lost and found lines where you blur the edges of hard lines and use the difference in color for lines or the light as a line. I started this in the Zoom class but the internet and computer were not working for me and I did not finish this. When I came back to it later I had lost my enthusiasm. This was on Art Spectrum Colourfix Sanded Paper so I could wipe it off and put some water to blend the leftover for a new under painting.
For the monthly challenge on wetcanvas in the Southwest Forum where we paint from photos and you know how I feel about that, I picked these old milk cans. I used the paper from the exercise above and did a version of the cans. There wasn't much I could do with the composition without adding from my imagination. I decided to just have fun with the rusty cans and fence. This is about 8 x 10 inches with a variety of pastels. I was going to outline again and just forgot after I started painting. This is more of a sketch than a painting.
The prompt for Inktober Day 13 is roof. This means sketching outside or from a photo. I vote for outside! See ya later.

Good thinking for the "stuck" prompt. Glad you ae doing something fun and different with Enid. Nice results!
Joan, thank you so much. It is fun to get "un-stuck" and try new things.
So beautiful as always. ❤️
R’s Rue, thank you so much.
I do like it when you play in the pastels. All are nice. The fruit and lines are my favorite. The lines do create movement.
Bag Blog, I like the lines, too. I need to have more imagination in my paintings. I'm hoping that I will have more "play" in my work when I finish the big sketchbook. Not long to go, yay!
