Art and Thoughts #4

Some times I just want to put color down and make something.
That is what I did.
There was no grand intent here. Just dry pastels and some time to kill. Sadly, this mixed media drawing pad of mine isn't the best for dry pastels. The paper just isn't textured enough. I am, at this point, just trying to use up the pages to complete it. There isn't anything grand in these pages. Probably the drawing for the better part of like eight years or less. When I'm done with it, I'll likely buy a new sketchbook of my choosing. I'm not sure if it's going to be another mixed media sketchbook or not.
Or perhaps I should fill out the bristol board pad first.
I probably should do that.
You thought my lil'notebook collecting was pad. My sketchbook collection is right up there.

I struggle with pastels. I certainly couldn't have done that! The pad may not be great, but I like how you make the colors move.
