Today was more of a play day than anything else. I purchased a small set of Rembrandt pastel sticks on clearance at Mike's and wanted to try them. I also had a set that I discovered at my Mom's house when we were cleaning it out. My Dad being an artist, I assumed they were his. I don't really know what I'm doing with the pastels; it was fun but messy. I watched a video of using Rembrandt pastels and she said they didn't create much dust. Wrong!
I was quite taken with the spring impressionistic landscape section. This is what inspired me: https://www.greatbigcanvas.com/view/tidewater,2666070/
I wasn't quite sure what to do once I had the pastels down so reached for my Zentangle pens and shading pencils. I did a murmuration of starlings in the sky and a few light clouds with white acrylic paint. Starlings are invasive birds, not desirable, but the murmurations are incredible. Thanks for the challenge!
