A friend has written a story in verse about a little moon who wants to be the sun. And I went and quickly ordered my nice new box of cretacolor dry pastels! This project is just the perfect opportunity to teach myself working with pastels. I have tried using them when in design school, but never did get them right. I am still struggling with the medium! But I love the way the pastels smooth-en onto the paper and are so easy to craft with your fingers… and yet difficult exactly for the same reason!
Also been looking at Axel Scheffler’s work and falling in love with it! Love the knobbly noses and the bug eyes, the little brick houses and profusion of animals and people in his pictures!
Big smile on my face, paint stains on my fingers and clothes, uncombed hair and a crick in my neck from all that stooping… but happy, happy, happy!
much thanks!!!
RAJ!!
how delightful! thanks a ton!
I envy YOU!
REALLY!
I dunno much abt “cretacolor dry pastels” n how they “smooth-en onto the paper” but the effects seem really delightful…not to mention colorful!
Ur drawings always take me to a Wodehouseian world, a bright happy place where even troubles come with rubber teeth
N to the tiny colorful desks/chairs in my Jr. KG class!
BTW ur description of urself has certainly piqued my curiousity…that look must be priceless
Have a blast!
