| The creativity and talent of wonderful STS people have inspired me to start drawing again. I haven't done any drawing in probably 20 years. I tried to get it going again last year, but my inspiration fizzled out after one or two attempts. But this wonderful board has reignited my passion and given me the oomph to try something new. So I decided to teach myself oil pastels! Charcoal pencil from a year ago: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]My very 1st pastels, from about 2 weeks ago: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]hmmmm, do I see a pattern? oh wait! ...where did this fellow come from? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]It must have been fate, since two days after I did him, Ana introduced her new Gaur! (I can't wait! ) This was when I started working with blending (smearing, actually) to create modelling. uh oh, I seem to be heading back to my routine: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]This was fun because I started playing with using color pencil as well. This was also when I learned that charcoal pencil and oil pastels don't work together too well. I think I'll have to get pastel pencils for fine work - hooves and horns etc - and I think I must take a course in perspective. [ I figured out how to fix the size! now they're a little big, but at least you can see them!]

| From what I can see they look WONDERFUL!!! I love the Gaur and the last picture, is it a Barbary Sheep? The others are lovely too, especially the first one, I like that! The contrast is great _________________ Harriet My *Collection* My *Handmade Animal Sculpture*

| Sorry for the inconvenience of the minute postings. I'm still getting the hang of working with images. Thank you muchly for the kind words! I hope they still hold true now you can actually see the pictures. Harriet, yes, that's supposed to be a Barbary. His head's goofy, but I'm thrilled you could tell what it was! |
