    Here I am just days after announcing I was leaving pastels (for now), I see the topic for today and almost signed up!       See how easily I can be sidetracked?!     I gave myself a good talking to, made a cup of tea, had a good cry and got my paints and pencils out. Have fun everybody and I'll see you in drawing class. 


  Whew, made that one by the skin of my teeth!       

Dennis, you are a hard habit to break! Thank you for being you.

Nice work, Patricia.  Looks like there was a stiff breeze whipping up that surf.  It looks like that here today.

I especially like your cloud colours Patricia. I am not at all happy with this one but I've been reminded that my fingers seem to be too big to work on a small pastel! Both sets of rocks have managed to end up in a line across my paper and its hard to keep my whites white (like a laundry ad!) I don't like the pattern of foam in the foreground and I want to do it again. Can you wipe pastels right off and start again?

    Thank you so much JayJ, Penny, Mea and Karen for your lovely comments on my painting of the surf.  There is a lot that I felt I could do better with but at least I tried and I am still such a novice at art but I really enjoyed the lesson immensely.


  Karen, your painting is beautiful and I don't know why you are unhappy with it because I think you did a superb job especially painting a long which is not easy.  Your rocks have definition, your sea is lovely and so are your clouds. I loved the reflections of the rocks on the left hand side.  Yes, it is difficult to keep your whites white and that is why you should have a damp cloth nearby to keep wiping your hands before taking hold of different colours.  I have tried wiping colour off the paper with a piece of kitchen towel, applied white over the area and then went ahead and applied the correct colour on it and it did work.  Anyway, I am sure the more experienced artists will come along and give you advice on that question.


Patricia.

Well done on the paint alongs Patricia and Karen.  Karen I use packing tape.  Place it over what u want to remove and rub then remove tape.  It might take a couple of applications.  Works better than anything else I've tried.
