| 'Dance with Me' 9x12 pastel ©Karen Margulis available $150 |
My quest continues this week. I am getting ready to participate in a paintout on St George Island in Florida. I want to fill my Heilman box with my new Great American pastel set. I am working on some Florida landscapes to put the set to the test. So far I am pleased with the set (Richard McKinley 91 half stick set)
I decided to repurpose a piece of Wallis that I had used for a quick cloud demo at my last workshop. I wanted to keep it simple but the chalky clouds and blue sky of the demo didn't lend themselves to my subject matter. It was difficult to see past the clouds! I was tempted to pul out a clean piece of paper when I had an idea!
Just turn the paper upside down and sideways!

I used a blue Nupastel to draw some the arrangement of palm trees making sure I had a variety of sizes and spacing. What a fun way to repurpose paper!

Oh that is cool! It makes sense too. Wallis needs to be repurposed, there's no such thing as wasted Wallis these days. Very cool painting and in a way that clouds demo makes it easy to do that since it was so simple, masses of blue and light and one gray smudge.
