Flowers in between other things and oil pastel experiment.
My last sketchbook had several projects going but in between I tried to draw my flowers - here they are. The last sketch is an experiment with using oil pastels in my sketchbook. I love oil pastel as much as I hate smudging it so it was an attempt to find a solution to both feelings. And I think I found it - good (non-smelling) fixative is an answer but it should be sold with a nice pack of patience.
Last week's summary
Here are highlights from last week:
I met a new cat and spent time drawing with some wonderful art friends, I took our Nonagenarian to get a flu shot and I had some lovely video conversations with my parents who are already experiencing fall weather.
I drew mini sunflowers many times as they wilted more and more. I was thinking about if I need color to communicate which flower it is and if sunflower needs color to communicate its identity.
And I drew straw flowers and a bunch of pumpkins and gourds to celebrate the beginning of the autumn. Pumpkins I sent to friends and gourds I kept for myself.
