Tuesday in My Studio
It's Tuesday, and I almost forgot my "regular" Tuesday post again. Almost. It's not midnight here yet, so this still counts.
Last week was a very eventful week--Riley (our adorable new little granddaughter) was born on Friday; also on Friday, my husband Dave retired after more than 40 years at the same company, we went with friends to see a Patriots football game on Sunday (they won), and on Monday we got to meet Riley for the first time. She's a cutie, isn't she?
I did manage to find some in my studio, though, and almost finished this drawing. I did the main part of the drawing with Prismacolor pencils on Colorfix sanded paper. I've used rough paper before, but never anything this rough. The paper demands a much looser style than I'm accustomed to, and I found it thoroughly enjoyable. Since Colorfix is a paper intended for use with pastels, I thought that doing the background in pastel would be absolutely perfect. And, it may well be a perfect solution. The only catch is that I don't have the first clue how to use pastels. So as soon as I take care of that little detail, I'll finish this one.
