Absolutely wonderful Tammy. Those eyes are breathtaking…and the purple is so soft in this…with that touch of blue in the background. I almost pulled out my pastels…but the charcoal is what yelled the loudest. ;) Maybe my next piece…
Oh, and as we have found, going back to first love opens up many possibilities.
MoonSpiral replied 17 days ago
Yep, I love watching how Stevie opened the floodgates for you lately…I am hoping to get back to that, but you know it comes and goes. You have inspired me in so many ways…oil pastels and ink and if only I had the time to try all the different mediums…;).

Thankyou, I do need to just be. I can put a lot of pressure on myself and sometimes I need to be reminded to just be in the cycle instead of trying to force things. You are very kind and I appreciate your wisdom!

love the colours in this Tammy. I have some Derwent chalk pastels my hubby bought me for my birthday and i need some suggestions on paper, nothing fancy as i am practicing the medium at the moment and don’t want to waste expensive paper..any suggestions? XX
MoonSpiral replied 16 days ago
I started on Canson Mi-Tientes. You can work on the front or back of it and I often like the back better because the tooth of the paper shows too much on the front and I like my work to not show the tooth(some pastel work looks better showing the tooth patterns, I just like it smooth). I now like working on real gritty paper (almost sand paper like, and you can actually practice on sand paper too). The grittier the paper the more layers you can put on it. Colorfix paper is a good gritty paper to practice on too.
