But this abstract thing I've been into lately is very relaxing and brings out my intuition. So, for the first time with pastels, I did not have a photographic reference, I did not have a plan, I just started picking out attractive colors and putting them on white strathmore pastel paper. You cannot put water on this paper, so I used a piece of foam to rub the first layer of color into the texture of the paper.
After looking at it for a while, the closest thing it looked like was a flower garden. So I started putting in cobblestone and rock and flower shapes. Totally from my head, and using the shapes already on the paper.
I am certainly not an abstract painter, but this is fun attempting to do it. What is that logo or saying? "Just do it!" Maybe Nike.
