Pastels 17 - 24 - Amanda Trought
Here are the latest sketches for the 100 Days of Pastels. It has been quite an interesting week seeing what comes up each morning. I start the day with a sketch and find that it is a good way to loosen up the creative juices and also get you in the right frame of mind because you have spent time with your inner child playing.
I start each of the sketches with playing with color laying down what comes to hand. Some days I might start with a particular color in mind but essentially it is what ever is speaking to me and I go with it. I don't decide what I will draw but still look within the colours on the paper to see what images are coming out. I am amazed at the variety when you let yourself be free.

The other thing that I wanted to share with you is the Mixed Media Play Date. It is in full swing and we are having a wonderful time creating.
I am constantly trying to push the boat out and experiment with the different supplies and as a teacher learn new things as our learning never stops, and it is great to be able to see the fantastic work that is being done in the classroom.
Here is am image that I did while being inspired with Tiares session.
