you can't really tell, but the texture was pretty fun-- layered pastel on top of gouache. i do hope i will have time to post more later. i promise there really is some decent stuff coming. : )bottom line is, i'm so pressured with having to do "good work", that i forget it's fun to just experiment. not for any assignment or project, but just to sit down and experiment. you should try that, too...in whatever aspect you relate with. free your mind and just forget the rules. it's liberating. i think i will try crayons next....

crayons: awesome. i went through a "coloring book phase" a few years ago.
i like the admonition to experiment, irregardless of "quality" or "purpose." i'll keep that in mind.
I hear ya about experimenting. A couple weeks ago I was babysitting a friend's 18-month old daughter and we spent part of the day just scribbling in a notepad. It was very therapeutic. Now I just want to color all day...
I think I should change my major so that all I do is doodle all day. Kristin, I would love your major. Though I know that it's stressful beyond all reason and difficult. :)
Bethann who?
And I really like the apples. I just - really like them.
Liberating? I don't understand the concept.
Good work! I like the colors a lot. I think the media lends itself to peaches more than apples, but still a good look. I like these good posts! Keep em comin!
HAHA! Good advice! I'll try it!
