I always zone out a little bit Danielle...

Still using the Strathmore charcoal paper-self punishment for not noticing that it is 64lb wgt.  I have a whole pad of 18x24.

Nice to see your painting emerge Natalie.  Very well done this part one of the painting.

[MaryAnne Long]

Nice lake pastel, Natalie.  pastel paintings always look so dreamy.  What a serene medium.

Thank you Val, Sally, Patricia, Mea and Danielle! 

I think my pinkish highlights melted in with the fixative Dennis-I'll fix it next class.

Nolon I haven.t had a chat box since the system changed.

[ncwren]

  That wore me out!  The highlights are really bright in the photo-I'm not sure why. 
Someone (batman?) suggested using pastel shavings for the beach, so I sprayed that area with fixative and smooshed all of the pastel dust that came from doing this picture.  I sprayed it again because it is pretty chunky-even after I put another sheet on and pressed down.  Still better than trying to dot it out!!

Fun lesson, but the reflections were harder than I thought they would be.

[Happychappy]

    Wow, Natalie, what a beautiful picture.  I just LOVE the reflections.  An excellent job and you can be very proud.    Patricia
