Thanks, Cris. I was planning to use Pastel Premier, but am having a lot of trouble with this surface. Just did an 8 x 10 of the same image yesterday and I kind of hate the paper. We'll see...trying it again tomorrow.
Painting and drawing was a major part of my life as a child but dissapeared during my teens and through my life as an adult working fulltime in the corporate world. The awakening came one day at the office when I realized that I had to return to art, quit and took a partime job. I began classes at a local art league and painting at home.
Another awakening arrived when I had my first intimate encounter with a dairy cow. Then there was the interview with Temple Grandin...no more eating these beautiful creatures or anything with a mother. My goal is to depict these non-human animals as the sentient, beautiful beings that they are. That's it.
AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue!

DeleteLook forward to the large version. If pastel, what support?
