I spent some time trying some new pastel surfaces, but the results were frustrating. Not that the surfaces weren't good… I guess the painter didn't put enough focus in getting the best out of it! In short, no time enough to really get involve in longer painting projects. I guess I have to find a rhythm and the moments in the week to plunge into it.
As always when I struggle, I tend to go for drawing exercises. Still Life is like a peaceful moment to put together sense of observation, some basis of drawing, and start moving around with Colors.
Here is the work finished this morning :

For those interested, the different steps to the finished work:
Let's continue and find something to work on!
