Hilly Landscape with PanPastels

I made my first ever PanPastel sketch!  These are a joy to use.  Just for fun, I've included a before and after.

This sketch was made on 98 lb Canson Mixed Media paper using Colorfin Ultra Soft Artist Painting PanPastels.  A wonderful new medium!

A Float

My instructor, Kara English gave a demo on how to make a "float" painting last week, and so I decided to give it a try this past weekend.  I bought four colors of spray paint: paprika, oregano, aqua and flat black.  Okay, actually I purchased five- also a can of metallic silver.  However, the silver spray paint was quite defective.  I placed my canvas out in the rain and let it pour down.  Then, I sprayed the colors over the wet canvas, making the cool watery patterns.  I am told this resembles 1990s furniture patterns . . .
