Today is the LAST DAY of parent observation!! The last LaGuardia class with Daya I get to attend!
I am not the only sad parent.
Today I went all dusty, all pastel- pans and nupastel.
No Gouache.
I am still deciding which workflow I like better.
5x7, there is clear gesso over the grey- toned background.
Maybe the answer is that I don’t have to decide, i can do whatever suits my mood.
Looking at everything all together there aren’t hugely vast differences in the color.
Today I used pans for the underpainting and went over it with Nupastel.
It’s a little scratchy to work like this- this is a downside because I don’t like to make noise and potentially bother others around me. The pans are slightly cumbersome but it’s not terrible, not enough to say don’t travel with them.
I have 2 travel panpastel palettes I keep filled… and i didn’t have my yellow ochre pan which I would have really liked.
I finished this painting EARLY… really shocking. Usually I’m going until the last minute of the class.
Today I had about 10 minutes of class left.
Tomorrow I am meeting my friend who has a Freshman, and I’m going to paint during Freshman dance observation.
I think you are coming down with 'empty nest' syndrome. ;)
