| "Soquel Creek in Autumn" Pastel 9 x 12 © Donna Gross Available contact artist |
I tortured this piece of pastel paper today! Uart 400 grit is gritty!!
Last night I prepared it with a wash using Inktense color blocks and alcohol. I loaded the color on! After piano practice this morning, I headed out to the studio with coffee in hand. I had my photo reference....my yummy pastels....classical music on the radio...check.....begin.
I can't really tell you how many layers are on this piece or how many times I scrubbed it away with a toothbrush only to start anew.... At the ripe hour of 5:30 p.m., duty called and I had to figure out what to do to feed my family....darn domestic duties do get in the way of artistic pursuits!!
I called it a day . Not sure if I am finished. I'll give it a day or two or....
Uart paper can take a licking and keep on sticking!
