| "Shadow Play" 5x7 Pastel © Donna Gross I am still traveling and finding time to draw with pastel pencils.....Am I painting or drawing? When I have pencils in my hands, it feels more akin to drawing like with colored pencils. When I have those luscious sticks of pastel chalk , I am painting. To me these pencil works are studies for more in depth work later on.....I am able to capture the values, choose the colors, and provide composition and perspective for a more in depth and perhaps a bigger work of art. I am working with Faber- Castell pencils which I enjoy for quick studies. Keeping them sharp and in good working order is a bit more tricky. I find that sharpening them can result in broken off tips and I feel I need to take special care when using the sharpener. Tonight I am sleeping on a train in a sleeper car. What a way to go! All Aboard! |
