Just a note: I started this blog Oct 30th and wrote the next post Nov 1st, even though it is all dated Nov 3rd. I had a misspelling in the URL, so I had to redo. This is the view from the porch on a fine day, yesterday. I spent several hours there making my own pastels from pigment, chalk, and other ingredients. It's kind of like making fancy cookies that I put in a form to dry.
Today, they were dry enough to come out of the form. I am very pleased with the lovely rainbow of hues that I have created. In a few days when they are thoroughly dry, I can use them to make a beautiful painting. Of course, most pastelists do not make their own pastels, they buy them, but I am enjoying this and learning a lot about color mixing.
